The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 The young massive OB association Cygnus OB2, in the Cygnus X complex, is the closest (∼1400 pc) star-forming region to the Sun hosting thousands of young low-mass stars and up to 1000 OB stars, among which are some of the most massive stars known in our ...

X-Ray Bursting Neutron Stars [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987 The maximum peak luminosity of the X-ray bursts from a burster is most likely interpreted as the Eddington luminosity of a helium-rich envelope surrounding a neutron star. If this interpretation is true, we can obtain a relation between the mass and the radius of the neutron star in terms of the maximum effective temperature of bursts.

X-Ray Observations of Be Stars [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1982 Be star binaries with neutron star companions are shown to constitute a major class of X-ray sources. Some general observational and interpretive techniques of X-ray astronomy are reviewed. Data for 12 Be/X-ray binary systems are summarized. The Be/X-ray binaries are found to be systematically wider systems, with lower-mass primaries, and with ...

X-Ray Observations of Symbiotic Stars [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1981 AbstractObservations are reported of 19 symbiotic stars made with the imaging proportional counter of the Einstein Observatory. Three of the objects (HM Sge, V 1016 Cyg and RR Tel) were detected as soft X-ray sources. All three have shown slow-nova eruptions in the past 40 years.

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 ...

News on the X-ray emission from hot subdwarf stars
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.

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,

Catalog of X-Ray Detected Be Stars (XDBS)
Research Notes of the AAS, 2022 Abstract We present a catalog of X-ray Detected Be Stars (XDBS) with 161 Be stars from the Be Star Spectra (BeSS) database having X-ray counterparts in the Chandra Source Catalog v2.0, XMM-Newton 4XMM-DR11 Catalog, or Swift 2SXPS Catalog.
