A 4.2 Day Period in the X-ray Pulsar IGR J16393-4643 from Swift/BAT and RXTE/PCA Observations
Abstract
The 910s X-ray pulsar IGR J16393-4643 was reported by Thompson et al. (2006, ApJ 649, 373) to have a 3.6875 ±0.0006 day orbital period from a pulse timing analysis, although other solutions with orbital periods of 50.2 and 8.1 days could not be excluded. Thompson et al. proposed, on the basis of their orbital parameters, that IGR J16393-4643 is a supergiant wind-accretion powered HMXB. Nespoli et al.
