Scientific paper

I report on Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations of the low-mass X-ray binary Aql X-1, made on 2011 October 21 (obsid 96440-01-02-02), eight days after the detection of a new outburst (ATel #3686). Beginning on October 21.579 UT, I observed a series of four dips in X-ray intensity lasting between 5-60s each (see Fig. 1 in the attached link). The first two dips were separated by 3.9 min; then 7.8 min to the next (which occurred as a closely separated pair), and 9 min to the last.
