Fast Transitions of X-Ray Variability in the Neutron Star Low-mass X-Ray Binary Cygnus X-2

Fast Transitions of X-Ray Variability in the Neutron Star Low-mass X-Ray Binary Cygnus X-2

We present a spectral-timing analysis of two NICER observations of the weakly magnetized neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Cygnus X-2. During these observations, we detect a rapid transition from a narrow 50 Hz horizontal-branch oscillation (HBO) to a broad 5 Hz normal-branch oscillation (NBO), acc...
