Echoes in X-ray binaries [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002 We present a method of analysing the correlated X-ray and optical/UV variability in X-ray binaries, using the observed time delays between the X-ray driving lightcurves and their reprocessed optical echoes. This allows us to determine the distribution of reprocessing sites within the binary.

Generation of X-Ray Fluctuations in X-Ray Binaries [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1996 AbstractShort-term aperiodic fluctuations with 1/f-like power spectral density (PSD), where f is the frequency, are characteristics of X-ray radiation from X-ray binaries. To investigate a mechanism creating fluctuations, we construct a cellular-automaton model for accretion disks based on the concept of self organized criticality (SOC). In this model,

A global study of X-ray binaries [PDF]
Proceedings of VII Microquasar Workshop: Microquasars and Beyond — PoS(MQW7), 2009 We present preliminary results on a global study of X-ray binaries using 14 Ms of data from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite. Our initial study on GX 339-4 is recapped as an introduction to the methods used. We use a consistent analysis scheme for all objects, with three different spectral models to fit the powerlaw and disc components.

, 2016 This chapter discusses the implications of X-ray binaries on our knowledge of Type Ibc and Type II supernovae. X-ray binaries contain accreting neutron stars and stellar--mass black holes which are the end points of massive star evolution. Studying these remnants thus provides clues to understanding the evolutionary processes that lead to their ...

X-Ray Binaries in External Galaxies
, 2023 X-ray appearance of normal galaxies is mainly determined by X-ray binaries powered by accretion onto a neutron star or a stellar mass black hole. Their populations scale with the star-formation rate and stellar mass of the host galaxy and their X-ray luminosity distributions show a significant split between star-forming and passive galaxies, both facts

CCD Observations of X-Ray Binaries [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1987 AbstractDuring two observation periods in 1984 and 1985 we monitored the faint optical counterparts of seven X-ray binaries with a CCD camera attached to the Cassegrain-focus of the 2.2 m telescope at Calar Alto , Spain. The observation periods were 1984, September 25–27 , and 1985, August 8–15.The transient sources 4U0042+32 and 4U0115+63 showed no ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The cell‐autonomous roles of interferon type 1 vary based on duration and intensity. While acute, robust signaling results in cancer cell cytotoxic effects, sustained, low‐level signaling is associated with tumor‐promoting effects. This review summarizes current research of IFN‐1 in cancer and within the clinical setting, with an emphasis on female ...
