On the metallicity dependence of high-mass X-ray binaries
, 2006 It is commonly assumed that high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) populations are little affected by metallicity. However, the massive stars making up their progenitor systems depend on metallicity in a number of ways, not least through their winds.

X-ray views of neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries [PDF]
Current Science.97:804-820,2009, 2010 A neutron star low-mass X-ray binary is a binary stellar system with a neutron star and a low-mass companion star rotating around each other. In this system the neutron star accretes mass from the companion, and as this matter falls into the deep potential well of the neutron star, the gravitational potential energy is released primarily in the X-ray ...

X-Ray Views of Galactic Accreting Pulsars in High-Mass X-Ray Binaries [PDF]
Accreting X-ray pulsars, located in X-ray binaries, are neutron stars with magnetic fields as strong as $B\sim10^{12\text{--}13}$ G. This review offers a concise overview of the accretion and radiation processes of X-ray pulsars and summarizes their rich observational features, particularly focusing on complex and variable temporal phenomena, spectral ...

High-Energy Spectra of Black Hole and Neutron Star Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries
UniverseIn the case of low-mass X-ray binaries, the companion star is often too faint for detection; therefore, there is no chance for dynamical studies to independently determine the mass of the compact object. In the absence of a mass estimate, one cannot make a distinction as to whether the binary hosts a black hole or neutron star.
