	`ABSTRACT:`
/AB	`In the completed work listed above, we present an X--ray spectral and`
	`timing analysis of 4131543-47 during its 2002 outburst based on 49 pointed`
	`observations obtained using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The`
	`outburst reached a peak intensity of 4.2 Crab in the 2-12 keV band and`
	`declined by a factor of 32 throughout the month-long observation. A`
	`21.9+/-0.6 mJy radio flare was detected at 1026.75 MHz two days before the`
	`X-ray maximum; the radio source was also detected late in the outburst,`
	`after the X-ray source entered the hard state. The X-ray light curve`
	`exhibits the classic shape of a rapid rise and an exponential decay. The`
	`spectrum is soft and dominated by emission from the accretion disk. The`
	`continuum is fit with a multicolor disk blackbody (kT-max = 1.04 keV) and a`
	`power-law (Gamma -2.7). Midway through the decay phase, a strong`
	`low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO; nu = 7.3-8.1 Hz) was present`
	`for several days. The spectra feature a broad Fe K line that is asymmetric,`
	`suggesting that the line is due to relativistic broadening rather than`
	`Gomptonization. Relativistic Laor models provide much better fits to the`
	`line than non-relativistic Gaussian models, particularly near the beginning`
	`and end of our observations. The line fits yield estimates for the inner`
	`(. . .)`
	`oberved. Specifically, we observe a 240 Hz QPO at a significance of`
	`4.7sigma and a 162 Hz QPO at 3.7sigma. The higher frequency QPO was`
	`discovered by Homan et al. in an independent data set; they also found`
	`marginal evidence (2.5sigma) (Author)`
