NGC 2060
Abstract
G. Cusumano, M. C. Maccarone, T. Mineo, and B. Sacco, Istituto di Fisica Cosmica con Applicazioni all'Informatica, CNR, Palermo, report: "Analysis of archival data acquired with the MECS instrument onboard the BeppoSAX X-ray Observatory confirms the RXTE detection of pulsations in NGC 2060 (IAUC 6810). BeppoSAX observed the LMC field on 1996 Oct. 25-26, and NGC 2060 was 16' off-axis in the MECS field-of-view. In the energy band 2-10 keV, a pulsed signal was detected with a period of 0.016114775(4) s (in agreement with the extrapolated RXTE value); the folded lightcurve is has a single peak; the observed pulsed countrate, 0.0037 +/- 0.0006 counts/s, corresponds to a flux of 5.9 x 10E-13 erg cmE-2 sE-1."
