A ROSAT Survey of Contact Binary Stars

, 2005
Contact binary stars are common variable stars which are all believed to emit relatively large fluxes of x-rays. In this work we combine a large new sample of contact binary stars derived from the ROTSE-I telescope with x-ray data from the ROSAT All-Sky ...

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).

Near-infrared spectroscopy of 20 new Chandra sources in the Norma Arm

, 2014
We report on CTIO/NEWFIRM and CTIO/OSIRIS photometric and spectroscopic observations of 20 new X-ray (0.5-10 keV) emitters discovered in the Norma Arm Region Chandra Survey (NARCS).

A Rich Population of X-ray Emitting Wolf-Rayet Stars in the Galactic Starburst Cluster Westerlund 1

, 2006
Recent optical and IR studies have revealed that the heavily-reddened starburst cluster Westerlund 1 (Wd 1) contains at least 22 Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars, comprising the richest WR population of any galactic cluster. We present results of a senstive Chandra

Probing the composition of sub-millisecond rotating compact stars by r-modes instability [PDF]

, 2012
We investigate the implications of the r-modes instability on the composition of a compact star rotating at a sub-millisecond period. In particular, the only viable astrophysical scenario for such an object, wich might present inside the Low Mass X-ray ...

Observations of Binary and Single Wolf-Rayet Stars with XMM-Newton and Chandra

, 2005
We present an overview of recent X-ray observations of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars with XMM-Newton and Chandra. A new XMM spectrum of the nearby WN8 + OB binary WR 147 shows hard absorbed X-ray emission, including the Fe K-alpha line complex, characteristic of

Three New Galactic Center X-ray Sources Identified with Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

, 2013
We have conducted a near-infrared spectroscopic survey of 47 candidate counterparts to X-ray sources discovered by the Chandra X-ray Observatory near the Galactic Center (GC).

Detection of Multiple X-Ray Quasi-periodic Oscillations in IGR J19294+1816 with Insight-HXMT

The Astrophysical Journal
We report the timing results with Insight-HXMT observations of X-ray binary IGR J19294+1816 during its 2019 type I outburst at the decline phase shortly following its peak.

Hydrogen-triggered X-Ray Bursts from SAX J1808.4−3658? The Onset of Nuclear Burning

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a study of weak, thermonuclear X-ray bursts from the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4−3658. We focus on a burst observed with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer on 2019 August 9, and describe a similar burst observed ...
