XMM-Newton Detection of the 7.8 s Pulsar XTE J1829-098
Abstract
An outburst of the newly discovered 7.8 s pulsar XTE J1829-098 (Markwardt et al., ATEL #317) is seen in an unpublished XMM-Newton Galactic Plane Survey observation taken on 2003 March 27, when the source had a barycentric pulse period of 7.840+/-0.002 s and a count rate of 4.5 counts/s in the EPIC pn camera. Its position is R.A. = 18h29m44.0s, Decl. = -09d51'23" (J2000). The standard 90% confidence position uncertainty is 4".
