Polarization properties of weakly magnetized neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 ABSTRACT X-ray polarimetry missions like Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer will be able to measure for the first time the polarization properties of accreting, weakly magnetized neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries. In this work, we present simulations of the expected X-ray polarized signal, including the coronal emission for ...

Accretion Disk Boundary Layers around Neutron Stars: X‐Ray Production in Low‐Mass X‐Ray Binaries [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 We present solutions for the structure of the boundary layer where the accretion disk meets the neutron star, which is expected to be the dominant source of high-energy radiation in low-mass X-ray binaries which contain weakly magnetized accreting neutron stars.

Donors of Persistent Neutron-Star Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2012 Properties of X-ray luminosities in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) mainly depend on donors. We have carried out a detailed study of donors in persistent neutron-star LMXBs (PLMXBs) by means of a population synthesis code. PLMXBs with different donors have different formation channels.

Rapid X-ray variability of neutron stars in low-mass binary systems [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1999 The dramatic discovery with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer satellite of remarkably coherent $\sim$300--1200 Hz oscillations in the X-ray brightness of some sixteen neutron stars in low-mass binary systems has spurred theoretical modeling of these oscillations and investigation of their implications for the neutron stars and accretion flows in these ...

Jet quenching in the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 1RXS J180408.9−342058 [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 We present quasi-simultaneous radio (VLA) and X-ray (Swift) observations of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary (NS-LMXB) 1RXS J180408.9-342058 (J1804) during its 2015 outburst. We found that the radio jet of J1804 was bright (232 ± 4 μJy at 10 GHz) during the initial hard X-ray state, before being quenched by more than an order of magnitude during ...

A method to constrain the neutron star magnetic field in Low Mass X-ray Binaries [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2005 We describe here a method to put an upper limit to the strength of the magnetic field of neutron stars in low mass X‐ray binaries for which the spin period and the X‐ray luminosity during X‐ray quiescent periods are known. This is obtained using simple considerations about the position of the magnetospheric radius during quiescent periods.

NEUTRON STAR MASSES AND RADII FROM QUIESCENT LOW-MASS X-RAY BINARIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 We perform a systematic analysis of neutron star radius constraints from five quiescent low-mass X-ray binaries and examine how they depend on measurements of their distances and amounts of intervening absorbing material, as well as their assumed atmospheric compositions.
