摘要:The microquasar GRS 1915+105 was observed several times by BeppoSAX. Here we present an
extensive timing analysis of the longest observation, performed on October 2000. During this
10-day long observation the source was mainly observed in its r class, characterized by series of
pulses, with recurrence times varying between 40 and 90 seconds. The time profile of the pulses is
characterized by a rather smooth rising branch followed by one or more peaks with a fast decline.
We apply different methods to study the time structure of the X-ray light curve, and describe the
statistical properties of the observed variability.
