| Description | The key goal of the observation of X0748-67B was to study changes in the time of the X-ray eclipses in order to determine the orbital period, which, in turn allows us to infer properties of the system. We attempted to carry out ROSAT observations but both scheduled pointings missed the requested ephemerides to see the eclipses. We were, however, able to use ASCA performance verification phase data to undertake our intended scientific goal and the combined ASCA/Ginga data were published as: "Is the changing orbital period of EXO 0748-676 evidence for a triple system?", and was observed by Ginga on two occasions. Mr. Thomas has conducted spectral and temporal extractions of these data. These data have been folded on the orbital period and the variation of low energy absorption and high energy iron line emission studied. |
