Further Constraints on Variations in the Initial Mass Function from Low-mass X-ray Binary Populations [PDF]
, 2017 We present constraints on variations in the initial mass function (IMF) of nine local early-type galaxies based on their low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) populations.

COMMON PATTERNS IN THE EVOLUTION BETWEEN THE LUMINOUS NEUTRON STAR LOW-MASS X-RAY BINARY SUBCLASSES [PDF]
, 2015 The X-ray transient XTE J1701–462 was the first source observed to evolve through all known subclasses of low-magnetic-field neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (NS-LMXBs), as a result of large changes in its mass accretion rate.

Extreme quiescent variability of the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary EXO 1745−248 in Terzan 5 [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 EXO 1745-248 is a transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary that resides in the globular cluster Terzan 5. We studied the transient during its quiescent state using 18 Chandra observations of the cluster acquired between 2003 and 2016.

A Lack of Radio Emission from Neutron Star Low‐Mass X‐Ray Binaries [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2005 We report strict upper limits to the radio luminosities of three neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries obtained with the Very Large Array while they were in hard X-ray states as observed with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer: 1E 1724-307, 4U 1812-12, and SLX 1735-269.

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.

Three Additional Quiescent Low-Mass X-Ray Binary Candidates in 47 Tucanae [PDF]
, 2004 We identify through their X-ray spectra one certain (W37) and two probable (W17 and X4) quiescent low-mass X-ray binaries (qLMXBs) containing neutron stars in a long Chandra X-ray exposure of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, in addition to the two ...

Rapid population synthesis of black hole high-mass X-ray binaries: implications for binary stellar evolution [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 We conduct binary population synthesis to investigate the formation of wind-fed high-mass X-ray binaries containing black holes (BH-HMXBs). We evolve multiple populations of high-mass binary stars and consider BH-HMXB formation rates, masses, spins ...

Simultaneous NICER and NuSTAR Observations of the Ultracompact X-Ray Binary 4U 0614+091
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the first joint NuSTAR and NICER observations of the ultracompact X-ray binary 4U 0614+091. This source shows quasiperiodic flux variations on the timescale of ∼days.
