The superslow pulsation X-ray pulsars in high mass X-ray binaries

open access: yes, 2012
There exists a special class of X-ray pulsars that exhibit very slow pulsation of $P_{\rm spin}>1000$ s in the high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs). We have studied the temporal and spectral properties of these superslow pulsation neutron star binaries in ...

Insight-HXMT, NICER, and NuSTAR Views to the Newly Discovered Black Hole X-Ray Binary Swift J151857.0–572147

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The systematic properties are largely unknown for the black hole X-ray binary Swift J151857.0–572147 newly discovered in the 2024 outburst. The nature of a black hole can be completely defined by specifying the mass and dimensionless spin parameter ...

X-rays from Quiescent Low-Mass X-ray Binary Transients

open access: yes, 2000
I argue that it is very unlikely that X-rays from quiescent black-hole low-mass X-ray binary transients are emitted by coronae of companion stars. I show that in a simple model in which these X-rays are emitted by an ADAF filling the inner part of an ...

NICER, NuSTAR, and Insight-HXMT Views to Black Hole X-Ray Binary SLX 1746–331

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We study the spectral and temporal properties of the black hole (BH) X-ray transient binary SLX 1746–331 during the 2023 outburst with NICER, NuSTAR, and Insight-HXMT observations.

The high optical polarization in the Be/X-ray binary EXO 2030+375

open access: yes, 2014
Polarization in classical Be stars results from Thomson scattering of the unpolarized light from the Be star in the circumstellar disc. Theory and observations agree that the maximum degree of polarization from isolated Be stars is < 4%. We report on the

A Precessing Stellar Disk Model for Superorbital Modulations of the Gamma-Ray Binary LS I+61° 303

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Gamma-ray binary LS I+61° 303 consists of a neutron star orbiting around a Be star with a period of P _orb ≃ 26.5 days. Apart from orbital modulations, the binary shows long-term flux variations with a superorbital period of ${P}_{\sup }\simeq 4.6\,{\rm ...

Evidence for a Cyclotron Absorption Line and Spectral Transition in EXO 2030+375 during the 2021 Giant Outburst

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Based on Insight-HXMT observations of EXO 2030+375 during its 2021 giant outburst, we report the analysis of pulse variations and the broadband X-ray spectrum, and find the presence of a potential cyclotron resonant scattering feature (CRSF) with the ...

Formation of Sco X-1 induced by anomalous magnetic braking of Ap/Bp stars

open access: yes, 2017
Sco X-1 is the brightest persistent X-ray in the sky. It is generally believed that Sco X-1 is a low-mass X-ray binary containing a neutron star accreting from a low-mass donor star where mass transfer is driven by the magnetic braking. However, the mass
