Neutron star atmosphere composition: the quiescent, low‐mass X‐ray binary in the globular cluster M28 [PDF]
, 2012 Using deep Chandra observations of the globular cluster M28, we study the quiescent X-ray emission of a neutron star in a low-mass X-ray binary in order to constrain the chemical composition of the neutron star atmosphere and the equation of state of ...

Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys Imaging of ω Centauri: Optical Counterpart for the Quiescent Low-Mass X-Ray Binary [PDF]
, 2004 We report the discovery of an optical counterpart to a quiescent neutron star in the globular cluster Omega Centauri (NGC 5139). The star was found as part of our wide-field imaging study of Omega Cen using the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on Hubble

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 ...

The Relation between Outburst Rate and Orbital Period in Low-mass X-Ray Binary Transients [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 We have investigated the outburst properties of low-mass X-ray binary transients (LMXBTs) based on a comprehensive study of the outbursts observed in the past few decades.

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.
