A ROSAT Survey of Contact Binary Stars [PDF]
Contact binary stars are common variable stars which are all believed to emit relatively large fluxes of x-rays. In this work we combine a large new sample of contact binary stars derived from the ROTSE-I telescope with x-ray data from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) to estimate the x-ray volume emissivity of contact binary stars in the galaxy.

Formation of Sco X-1 induced by anomalous magnetic braking of Ap/Bp stars
Sco X-1 is the brightest persistent X-ray in the sky. It is generally believed that Sco X-1 is a low-mass X-ray binary containing a neutron star accreting from a low-mass donor star where mass transfer is driven by the magnetic braking. However, the mass

New Results for Two Optically Faint Low-Mass X-Ray Binary Systems [PDF]
We present optical photometry of the low-mass X-ray binary systems GX 349+2 (X1702-363) and Ser X-1 (X1837+049). Extensive VRI photometry of the faint optical counterpart (V = 18.4) to GX 349+2 reveals a period of 22.5 ± 0.1 hr and a half-amplitude of 0 ...

A Radio Pulsar/X-ray Binary Link [PDF]
Radio pulsars with millisecond spin periods are thought to have been spun up by transfer of matter and angular momentum from a low-mass companion star during an X-ray-emitting phase.

A 2.15 hr ORBITAL PERIOD FOR THE LOW-MASS X-RAY BINARY XB 1832-330 IN THE GLOBULAR CLUSTER NGC 6652 [PDF]
We present a candidate orbital period for the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) XB 1832-330 in the globular cluster NGC 6652 using a 6.5 hr Gemini South observation of the optical counterpart of the system.

Analytical model of compact star in low-mass X-ray binary with de Sitter spacetime [PDF]
In this article, we suggest a Sitter model in favor of compact stars in low-mass X-ray binaries. Here, we have considered the presence of a cosmological constant (on a small scale) to investigate the stellar structure.

NICER–NuSTAR Observations of the Neutron Star Low-mass X-Ray Binary 4U 1735–44 [PDF]
Abstract We report on the first simultaneous Neutron Star Interior Composition Explore (NICER) and Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) observations of the neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1735−44, obtained in 2018 August. The source was at a luminosity of ∼1.8 (D/5.6 kpc)2 × 1037 erg s−1 in the 0.4–30 keV band.
