Optical precursors to X‐ray binary outbursts [PDF]
Astronomical Notes - Astronomische Nachrichten, 2018 Disc instability models predict that for X-ray binaries in quiescence, there should be a brightening of the optical flux prior to an X-ray outburst.

Beam Pattern Evolution of Accreting X-Ray Pulsar 1A 0535+262 during Its 2020 Giant Outburst
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We report on pulse profile decomposition analysis of bright transient X-ray pulsar 1A 0535+262 using broadband Insight-HXMT observations during a giant outburst of the source in 2020.

Detection of Reflection Features in the Neutron Star Low-mass X-Ray Binary Serpens X-1 with NICER [PDF]
, 2018 We present Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) observations of the neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binary Serpens X-1 during the early mission phase in 2017.

The ultracompact nature of the black hole candidate X-ray binary 47 Tuc X9 [PDF]
, 2017 47 Tuc X9 is a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, and was previously thought to be a cataclysmic variable. However, Miller-Jones et al.

Do X-ray binary spectral state transition luminosities vary? [PDF]
, 2003 We tabulate the luminosities of the soft-to-hard state transitions of all X-ray binaries for which there exist good X-ray flux measurements at the time of the transition, good distance estimates, and good mass estimates for the compact star. We show that

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.

Partial Accretion in the Propeller Stage of Low-mass X-Ray Binary Aql X–1 [PDF]
, 2017 Aql X–1 is one of the most prolific low-mass X-ray binary transients (LMXBTs) showing outbursts almost annually. We present the results of our spectral analyses of Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer/proportional counter-array observations of the 2000 and 2011 ...

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.
