Disk Instability in Wide Neutron Star Low‐Mass X‐Ray Binaries

The Astrophysical Journal, 1998
Conditions for disk instability in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) have been recently considered with X-ray irradiation of the disk included. Conservative evolution was generally assumed, which, however, fails in wide LMXBs with a neutron star primary (NLMXBs).

Thermodynamic Limits to Molecular Doping in Conjugated Polymers: A Perspective on Phase Behavior and Miscibility

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Molecular doping of conjugated polymers is fundamentally constrained by thermodynamic phase behavior. This Perspective reframes doping efficiency and stability in terms of miscibility limits, binodals, and solvus boundaries, highlighting the role of effective interaction parameters and charge transfer.

Low-Mass X-ray Binaries [PDF]

A large fraction of X-ray sources in our Galaxy are low-mass X-ray binaries, containing a black hole or a neutron star accreting from a gravitationally bound low-mass (<∼1 M⊙) companion star.

Mass–Radius Constraints for 2S 0918–549 from an RXTE Superexpansion Burst: A Direct Cooling-tail Analysis

The Astrophysical Journal
Thermonuclear (Type I) X-ray bursts from accreting neutron stars (NSs) offer a means to determine NS mass ( M ) and radius ( R ) and thereby probe the properties of matter at supranuclear density.

SPECTRAL AND TIMING NATURE OF THE SYMBIOTIC X-RAY BINARY 4U 1954+319: THE SLOWEST ROTATING NEUTRON STAR IN AN X-RAY BINARY SYSTEM

, 2014
The symbiotic X-ray binary (SyXB) 4U 1954+319 is a rare system hosting a peculiar neutron star (NS) and an M-type optical companion. Its ∼5.4 hr NS spin period is the longest among all known accretion-powered pulsars and exhibited large (∼7 ...
