Bounds on Compactness for Low-Mass X-Ray Binary Neutron Stars from X-Ray Burst Oscillations [PDF]
, 2001 We have modeled X-ray burst oscillations observed with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer from two low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXB): 4U 1636-53 with a frequency of 580 Hz and 4U 1728-34 at a frequency of 363 Hz.

The connection between the UV/optical and X-ray emission in the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Aql X-1 [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 Accreting neutron stars and black holes in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) radiate across the electromagnetic spectrum. Linking the emission produced at different wavelengths can provide valuable information about the accretion process and any ...

Analysis of the Quiescent Low-Mass X-Ray Binary Population in Galactic Globular Clusters [PDF]
, 2003 Quiescent low-mass X-ray binaries (qLMXBs) containing neutron stars have been identified in several globular clusters using Chandra or XMM X-ray observations, via their distinctive soft thermal spectra. We report a complete census of the qLMXB population

The Low-Mass X-Ray Binary-Globular Cluster Connection in NGC 4472 [PDF]
, 2002 We have analyzed the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) candidates in a Chandra observation of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4472. In a region observed by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), approximately 40% of the bright (LX ≳ 1037 ergs s-1) LMXBs are ...

Populating the Galaxy with low-mass X-ray binaries [PDF]
, 2006 We perform binary population synthesis calculations to investigate the incidence of low-mass X-ray binaries and their birth rate in the Galaxy. We use a binary evolution algorithm that models all the relevant processes including tidal circularization and

The secondary stars in cataclysmic variables and low-mass X-ray binaries [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1998 We critically re-examine the available data on the spectral types, masses and radii of the secondary stars in cataclysmic variables (CVs) and low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), using the new catalogue of Ritter & Kolb (1998) as a starting point. We find there are 55 reliable spectral type determinations and only 14 reliable mass determinations of CV ...

Strong X-ray variability in the quiescent state of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary EXO 1745-248 [PDF]
, 2011 The transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary EXO 1745−248, located in the globular cluster Terzan 5, was detected during its quiescent state with Chandra in 2003.

X-rays from Hot Subdwarfs [PDF]
, 2015 Thanks to the high sensitivity of the instruments on board the XMM-Newton and Chandra satellites, it has become possible to explore the properties of the X-ray emission from hot subdwarfs.

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 ...

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.
