Star-formation history and X-ray binary populations: the case of the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In the present work we investigate the link between high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) and star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), our nearest star-forming galaxy.

Compact Stars in low-mass X-ray binaries [PDF]

open access: green, 2014
We propose a model for compact stars in low-mass X-ray binaries(LMXBs) namely KS 1731-260, EXO 1745-248 and 4U 1608-52. Here we investigate the physical phenomena of a compact star in the LMXBs. Using our model, we have calculated central density, surface density, mass(M) and red-shift for the above mentioned compact stars, which is very much ...

Enhanced optical activity 12 d before X-ray activity, and a 4 d X-ray delay during outburst rise, in a low-mass X-ray binary

open access: yes, 2020
X-ray transients, such as accreting neutron stars, periodically undergo outbursts, thought to be caused by a thermal-viscous instability in the accretion disk.

Catalogue of Be/X-ray binary systems in the Small Magellanic Cloud: X-ray, optical and IR properties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This is a catalogue of 70 X-ray emitting binary systems in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) that contain a Be star as the mass donor in the system and a clear X-ray pulse signature from a neutron star.

Back to Business: SLX 1746–331 after 13 Years of Silence

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The black hole candidate system SLX 1746–331 was back to business in 2023, after a long silence of roughly 13 years. An outburst was observed thoroughly by Insight-HXMT and NICER.

Analysis of the Quiescent Low-Mass X-Ray Binary Population in Galactic Globular Clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Quiescent low-mass X-ray binaries (qLMXBs) containing neutron stars have been identified in several globular clusters using Chandra or XMM X-ray observations, via their distinctive soft thermal spectra. We report a complete census of the qLMXB population

The X-ray emission of Be+stripped star binaries★

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022
ABSTRACT Using observations from Chandra, Swift, and XMM-Newton, we investigate the high-energy properties of all known (18) Be+sdO systems as well as seven additional Be binaries suspected to harbour stripped stars. The observed X-ray properties are found to be similar to those observed for other Be samples.

Beam Pattern Evolution of Accreting X-Ray Pulsar 1A 0535+262 during Its 2020 Giant Outburst

open access: yesThe 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.

Discovery of Twin kHz QPOs in the Peculiar X-Ray Binary Circinus X-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We report the discovery with the RXTE PCA of twin kHz QPOs in the peculiar X-ray binary Circinus X-1. Eleven cases of simultaneous double QPOs occurred, with significances of up to 6.3 and 5.5 σ and centroid frequencies ranging between approximately 56 ...

The Low-Mass X-Ray Binary-Globular Cluster Connection in NGC 4472 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We have analyzed the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) candidates in a Chandra observation of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4472. In a region observed by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), approximately 40% of the bright (LX ≳ 1037 ergs s-1) LMXBs are ...
