As X-ray astronomy enters the Einstein era when faint, distant, and exotic X-ray sources are being investigated, we thought it might be useful to review some of the progress made over the past decade on a class of relatively nearby objects that have contributed richly to our understanding of astrophysics — the binary X-ray pulsars.

The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 1989
The various types and classes of X-ray binary are reviewed high-lighting recent results. The high mass X-ray binaries (HMXRBs) can be used to probe the nature of the mass loss from the OB star in these systems. Absorption measurements through one orbital cycle of the supergiant system X1700-37 are well modelled by a radiation driven wind and also ...

Annales de Physique, 1990
A review of some properties of X-ray binaries is presented. The review is concentrated mainly on low mass binaries. Their secular evolution, X-ray spectra and variability are discussed. Black-hole candidates, models of "dippers" and soft X-ray transients are presented and compared with observations.

The very different nature of the emission mechanisms at the origins of X-ray and visible emission makes it inevitable that the sky looks very different in these two wavebands. This is illustrated by Fig. 16.1 which shows the bulge of our Galaxy observed in the hard X-rays by INTEGRAL (top), and in the visible domain (bottom).

The end of life remains to be outlined for those objects which are too massive, concentrate much matter in the center, and lose too little to escape a supernova event. The prominent clues lie in the X-ray domain, inaccessible only a few years back. Comparatively little impact on double-star studies comes from the exploration of radio pulsars as bona ...

Hard X-ray emission from neutron star X-ray binaries
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2004Abstract In this paper we review our current knowledge of the hard X–ray emission properties of accreting X–ray Binary Pulsars and old accreting neutron stars in Low Mass X–ray Binaries in light of 7 years of BeppoSAX and RXTE observations. The paper is divided in two parts.
