Descripción
We report the detection of a type I X-ray burst with burst oscillations during an RXTE-PCA observation of the recently discovered accreting millisecond pulsar (AMP) IGR J17498-2921 (ATels #3551, #3555, #3556, #3558, #3559, #3560, #3561, #3562, #3563). The burst intensity peaked on 2011-08-16 at 15:21:45 UTC. We find a rise time of ~0.4s (time span for burst intensity to go from 25% to 90% of net peak value) and an approximate total duration in the RXTE-PCA bandpass of 30s.

    Primitive asteroids in the Main Belt possess one of the most pristine inventories of materials in the Solar System. Main Belt primitive asteroids are particularly interesting due to clear evidence of phyllosilicates, i.e., silicates that have encountered liquid water and undergone chemical alteration. Since asteroids are thought to be likely

    To warn about potential asteroid or comet impacts, we must first observe and discover these objects through dedicated NEO surveys. Most current and planned surveys are ground-based and use visible light, but they face limitations like weather dependency, limited sky visibility, difficulty detecting at low galactic latitudes, and inability to
