Neutron Stars in X-ray Binaries and their Environments [PDF]
Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy, 2017 Neutron stars in X-ray binary systems are fascinating objects that display a wide range of timing and spectral phenomena in the X-rays. Not only parameters of the neutron stars, like magnetic field strength and spin period evolve in their active binary ...

Radio Emitting X-Ray Binary Stars [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1996 Some of the most astrophysically interesting objects are found among the radio-emitting X-ray binary stars (REXRB). The class includes the well-studied objects such as SS 433, Cyg X-3 and Sco X-1. The recent discoveries of relativistic ejection of radio knots in the X-ray transients 1915+105 (Mirabel & Rodriguez 1994) and 1655–40 (Hjellming & ...

News on the X-ray emission from hot subdwarf stars [PDF]
Open Astronomy, 2017 In latest years, the high sensitivity of the instruments on-board the XMM-Newton and Chandra satellites allowed us to explore the properties of the X-ray emission from hot subdwarf stars.

Bounds on Compactness for Low‐Mass X‐Ray Binary Neutron Stars from X‐Ray Burst Oscillations [PDF]
, 2002 We have modeled X-ray burst oscillations observed with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer from two low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXB): 4U 1636-53 with a frequency of 580 Hz and 4U 1728-34 at a frequency of 363 Hz.

Spectral Energy Distributions of Southern Binary X-Ray Sources
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 The rapid variability of X-ray binaries (XRBs) produces a wide range of X-ray states that are linked to activity across the electromagnetic spectrum. It is particularly challenging to study a sample of sources large enough to include all types in their ...

An Optically Discovered Outburst from XTE J1859+226
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Using the Zwicky Transient Facility, in 2021 February we identified the first known outburst of the black hole X-ray transient XTE J1859+226 since its discovery in 1999. The outburst was visible at X-ray, UV, and optical wavelengths for less than 20 days,

Clumpy Wind Studies and the Nondetection of a Cyclotron Line in OAO 1657–415
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Winds of massive stars are suspected to be inhomogeneous (or clumpy), which biases the measures of their mass-loss rates. In high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs), the compact object can be used as an orbiting X-ray point source to probe the wind and ...

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.

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 _⊙ .
