Abstract
We present a detailed and systematic investigation of correlated spectral and timing properties of the Z source GX 349+2, using extensive data $(\sim$ 221 ks) obtained from the Proportional-Counter-Array on-board RXTE satellite, during January 1998 and September-October 1998. For the first time a detailed comparison between the normal-branch-properties and the flaring-branch-properties of GX 349+2 has been possible, since this study showed the presence of a rare, extended normal branch. Peaked noise properties have been analyzed as functions of position along the Z-track and have been compared to those of Cyg X-2.

Key words: accretion, accretion disks -- stars: binaries: close -- stars: individual: GX 349+2 -- stars: neutron -- X-rays: stars

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
