Descripción
On Friday 19th, 2010 (19h 13m 26s UT), the RXTE galactic bulge scans
detected a flux excess in the direction of the globular cluster NGC
6440. This globular cluster is known to harbor at least 24 X-ray sources
(Pooley et al. 2002, ApJ 573, 184), of which two have been identified as
accreting-millisecond X-ray pulsars (AMXPs): NGC 6440 X-2 (Altamirano et
al. 2010, ApJ, 712, 58) and SAX J1748.9-2021.
