Echoes in X-ray binaries [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002 We present a method of analysing the correlated X-ray and optical/UV variability in X-ray binaries, using the observed time delays between the X-ray driving lightcurves and their reprocessed optical echoes. This allows us to determine the distribution of reprocessing sites within the binary.

, 2016 This chapter discusses the implications of X-ray binaries on our knowledge of Type Ibc and Type II supernovae. X-ray binaries contain accreting neutron stars and stellar--mass black holes which are the end points of massive star evolution. Studying these remnants thus provides clues to understanding the evolutionary processes that lead to their ...

Be–X-ray binaries and candidates [PDF]
Astronomical & Astrophysical Transactions, 2005 We present a compilative catalogue of Be/X-ray binaries and candidates in the Galaxy and in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. This catalogue contains 130 sources and provides information on names and spectral types of optical components, distances, spin characteristics of neutron stars, and on orbital and X-ray properties of binary systems.

Generation of X-Ray Fluctuations in X-Ray Binaries [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1996 AbstractShort-term aperiodic fluctuations with 1/f-like power spectral density (PSD), where f is the frequency, are characteristics of X-ray radiation from X-ray binaries. To investigate a mechanism creating fluctuations, we construct a cellular-automaton model for accretion disks based on the concept of self organized criticality (SOC). In this model,

Back to Business: SLX 1746–331 after 13 Years of Silence
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The black hole candidate system SLX 1746–331 was back to business in 2023, after a long silence of roughly 13 years. An outburst was observed thoroughly by Insight-HXMT and NICER.

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

Be Components in X-Ray Binaries [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1982 The Be X-ray binaries show rather weak and variable X-rays. They can be divided into two types, the transient sources and the permanent sources. Two ranges for the X-ray luminosity Lx can be discerned: a) Lx~1034erg s−1 (X Per, λ Cas, 2S0114+65, all permanent sources); b) Lx~1036erg s−1.
