Donors of Persistent Neutron-Star Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries [PDF]
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.

PSR J1953+1844 Probably Being the Descendant of an Ultracompact X-Ray Binary
PSR J1953+1844 (i.e., M71E) is a millisecond pulsar in a 53 minute binary orbit discovered by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope. The mass function from pulsar timing is 2.3 × 10 ^−7 M _⊙ .

The connection between the UV/optical and X-ray emission in the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Aql X-1 [PDF]
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]
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]
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 ...

Rapid X-ray variability of neutron stars in low-mass binary systems [PDF]
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 ...

Constraints on Neutron Star Structure from the Clocked X-Ray Burster 1RXS J180408.9−342058
Type I X-ray bursts are rapid-brightening transient phenomena on the surfaces of accreting neutron stars (NSs). Some X-ray bursts, called clocked bursters, exhibit regular behavior with similar light-curve profiles in their burst sequences.
