Abstract

We will present our observations of SAX J1808.4-3658, the first discovered accretion-powered millisecond pulsar binary, during its 2008 outburst. We obtained broad-band light curves of the source during the outburst. We have compared the outburst light curves with those in quiescence obtained by us in early 2008, and using a binary light curve code, we have fit both light curves. We will show the results from fitting, and discuss the implications.
