GRB060602B = Swift J1749.4-2807: an unusual transiently accreting neutron-star X-ray binary [PDF]

, 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-

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.

A Unified Model for Black Hole X-Ray Binary Jets? [PDF]

, 2004
We have recently put forward a ‘unified’ semi-empirical model for the coupling between accretion and jet production in galactic black hole X-ray binaries. In this paper, we summarise this model and briefly discuss relevant considerations that have arisen

A Radio Pulsar/X-ray Binary Link [PDF]

Science, 2009
From X-ray Binary to Pulsar Pulsars with millisecond rotational periods are thought to originate from neutron stars in low-mass x-ray binaries that had their spin frequencies increased by long-lasting mass transfer from their companion stars.

ASASSN-18ey: The Rise of a New Black Hole X-Ray Binary [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2018
We present the discovery of ASASSN-18ey (MAXI J1820+070), a new black hole low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) discovered by the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN).

Unveiling Properties of the Nonthermal X-Ray Production in the Gamma-Ray Binary LS 5039 Using the Long-term Pattern of Its Fast X-Ray Variability

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Gamma-ray binary systems, a subclass of high-mass X-ray binaries, show nonthermal emissions from radio to TeV. While efficient electron acceleration is considered to take place in them, the nature of the acceleration mechanism and the physical ...

X-Ray Binaries [PDF]

, 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 ...

A Comparison of Millisecond Pulsar Populations between Globular Clusters and the Galactic Field

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We have performed a systematic study of the rotational, orbital, and X-ray properties of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in globular clusters (GCs) and compared their nature with those of the MSPs in the Galactic field (GF).

PSR J1953+1844 Probably Being the Descendant of an Ultracompact X-Ray Binary

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
PSR J1953+1844 (i.e., M71E) is a millisecond pulsar in a 53 minute binary orbit discovered by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope. The mass function from pulsar timing is 2.3 × 10 ^−7 M _⊙ .

A state change in the low-mass X-ray binary XSS J12270−4859 [PDF]

, 2014
Millisecond radio pulsars acquire their rapid rotation rates through mass and angular momentum transfer in a low-mass X-ray binary system. Recent studies of PSR J1824-2452I and PSR J1023+0038 have observationally demonstrated this link, and they have ...
