GRB060602B = Swift J1749.4-2807: an unusual transiently accreting neutron-star X-ray binary [PDF]
Astron.Astrophys.455:1165,2006, 2008 We present an analysis of the Swift BAT and XRT data of GRB060602B, which is most likely an accreting neutron star in a binary system and not a gamma-ray burst. Our analysis shows that the BAT burst spectrum is consistent with a thermonuclear flash (type-

Why Do Black--Hole X-ray Binaries Tend to Be Transient? [PDF]
, 1999 Black hole X-ray binaries are transient probably because their discs are subject to the same thermal-viscous instability which is present in dwarf nova binary systems.

Probing the X-ray Variability of X-ray Binaries [PDF]
arXiv, 2003 Kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) has been regarded as representing the Keplerian frequency at the inner disk edge in the neutron star X-ray binaries. The so-called ``parallel tracks'' on the plot of the kHz QPO frequency vs. X-ray flux in neutron star X-ray binaries, on the other hand, show the correlation between the kHz QPO frequency ...

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 ...

Calibrating X-ray binary luminosity functions via optical reconnaissance II. The high-mass XLF and globular cluster population of X-ray binaries in the low star-forming spiral M81 [PDF]
, 2022 We characterize the optical counterparts to the compact X-ray source population within the nearby spiral galaxy M81 using multi-band Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging data. By comparing the optical luminosities and colors measured for candidate donor stars and host clusters to stellar and cluster evolutionary models, respectively, we estimate the ...

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.
