News on the X-ray emission from hot subdwarf stars [PDF]
Open Astronomy, 2017 In latest years, the high sensitivity of the instruments on-board the XMM-Newton and Chandra satellites allowed us to explore the properties of the X-ray emission from hot subdwarf stars.

Adiabatic Mass Loss in Binary Stars. V. Effects of Metallicity and Nonconservative Mass Transfer—Application in High Mass X-Ray Binaries [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalBinary stars are responsible for many unusual astrophysical phenomena, including some important explosive cosmic events. The stability criteria for rapid mass transfer and common-envelope evolution are fundamental to binary star evolution. They determine

Spectral Energy Distributions of Southern Binary X-Ray Sources
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 The rapid variability of X-ray binaries (XRBs) produces a wide range of X-ray states that are linked to activity across the electromagnetic spectrum. It is particularly challenging to study a sample of sources large enough to include all types in their ...

Clumpy Wind Studies and the Nondetection of a Cyclotron Line in OAO 1657–415
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Winds of massive stars are suspected to be inhomogeneous (or clumpy), which biases the measures of their mass-loss rates. In high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs), the compact object can be used as an orbiting X-ray point source to probe the wind and ...

The Spin-down Accretion Regime of Galactic Ultraluminous X-Ray Pulsar Swift J0243.6+6124
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The relatively high fluxes of the Galactic ultraluminous X-ray pulsar Swift J0243 allow a detailed study of its spin-down regime in the quiescent state for the first time.

Multiwavelength Characterization of the High-mass X-Ray Binary Population of M33
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present multiwavelength characterization of 65 high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) candidates in M33. We use the Chandra ACIS survey of M33 (ChASeM33) catalog to select hard X-ray point sources that are spatially coincident with UV-bright point-source ...

Probing the composition of sub-millisecond rotating compact stars by r-modes instability [PDF]
, 2012 We investigate the implications of the r-modes instability on the composition of a compact star rotating at a sub-millisecond period. In particular, the only viable astrophysical scenario for such an object, wich might present inside the Low Mass X-ray ...

Simulations of X-ray bursts and superbursts [PDF]
, 2015 Observations of neutron star in binary systems provide powerful constrains on the physics at the surface of neutron stars. During the accretion of matter from the companion star, periodic nuclear explosion are triggered in the outer layers of the neutron

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Gamma-ray binary systems, a subclass of high-mass X-ray binaries, show nonthermal emissions from radio to TeV. While efficient electron acceleration is considered to take place in them, the nature of the acceleration mechanism and the physical ...

A NICER Viewing Angle on the Accretion Stream of Vela X-1
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Vela X-1 is the archetypal eclipsing high-mass X-ray binary, composed of a neutron star (NS) accreting the B-star wind. It was observed by nearly all X-ray observatories, often multiple times, featuring a rich spectrum of variable emission lines. However,
