High-mass X-ray binaries and recent star formation history of the Small Magellanic Cloud [PDF]
Astronomy Letters, 2007 We study the relation between high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) population and recent star formation history (SFH) for the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Using archival optical SMC observations, we have approximated the color-magnitude diagrams of the stellar population by model stellar populations and, in this way, reconstructed the spatially resolved SFH ...

Origin of young accreting neutron stars in high-mass X-ray binaries in supernova remnants [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 ABSTRACT Recently, several accreting neutron stars (NSs) in X-ray binary systems inside supernova remnants have been discovered. They represent a puzzle for the standard magnetorotational evolution of NSs, as their ages (≲105 yr) are much shorter than the expected duration of Ejector and Propeller stages preceding the onset of wind ...

Rotation of the Mass Donors in High-mass X-ray Binaries and Symbiotic Stars
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2015 Our aim is to investigate the tidal interaction in High-mass X-ray Binaries and Symbiotic stars in order to determine in which objects the rotation of the mass donors is synchronized or pseudosynchronized with the orbital motion of the compact companion.

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT We present an analysis of the two-point spatial correlation functions of high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) and young star cluster (YSC) populations in M31 and M33. We find evidence that HMXBs are spatially correlated with YSCs to a higher degree than would be expected from random chance in both galaxies.

The high energy X-ray probe (HEX-P): a new window into neutron star accretion
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 Accreting neutron stars (NSs) represent a unique laboratory for probing the physics of accretion in the presence of strong magnetic fields (B ≳ 108 G).

Time Resolved Two Dimensional X-Ray Densitometry of a Two Phase Flow Downstream of a Ventilated Cavity [PDF]
, 2013 To measure the void fraction distribution in gas-liquid flows, a two-dimensional x-ray densitometry system was developed. This system is capable of acquiring a two-dimensional projection with a 225 cm2 area of measurement through 21 cm of water.

The radial velocity of the companion star in the low-mass X-ray binary 2S 0921-630 : limits on the mass of the compact object [PDF]
, 2005 In this paper we report on optical spectroscopic observations of the low-mass X-ray binary 2S 0921–630 obtained with the Very Large Telescope. We found sinusoidal radial velocity variations of the companion star with a semi-amplitude of 99.1 ± 3.1 km s−1
