Annales de Physique, 1990 A review of some properties of X-ray binaries is presented. The review is concentrated mainly on low mass binaries. Their secular evolution, X-ray spectra and variability are discussed. Black-hole candidates, models of "dippers" and soft X-ray transients are presented and compared with observations.

As X-ray astronomy enters the Einstein era when faint, distant, and exotic X-ray sources are being investigated, we thought it might be useful to review some of the progress made over the past decade on a class of relatively nearby objects that have contributed richly to our understanding of astrophysics — the binary X-ray pulsars.

The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 1989
The various types and classes of X-ray binary are reviewed high-lighting recent results. The high mass X-ray binaries (HMXRBs) can be used to probe the nature of the mass loss from the OB star in these systems. Absorption measurements through one orbital cycle of the supergiant system X1700-37 are well modelled by a radiation driven wind and also ...

Detection of the progenitors of Be X-ray Binaries
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2018AbstractA recent survey of the far-ultraviolet spectra of 264 B-emission line stars has revealed 16 systems with hot companions that are the stripped down remains of a former mass donor star. Some of these will probably become Be + neutron star X-ray binaries in the future.

Binary X-Ray Sources in the LMC
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1991We report new results on the X-ray binaries in the LMC since IAU Symposium 108 (see review by Hutchings 1984). These include an update of the point source identifications after further optical observations and a reprocessing of the Einstein database. We report major new results on several specific systems.

X-ray spectroscopy of X-ray binaries
2021This thesis describes the spectroscopic analysis of X-ray observations of X-ray bi- naries, i.e., systems composed of an accreting compact object and a stellar companion. These systems are characterized by their strong gravity, strong magnetic fields, as well as particle and radiation densities. Among the many fascinating physical processes con- nected

The very different nature of the emission mechanisms at the origins of X-ray and visible emission makes it inevitable that the sky looks very different in these two wavebands. This is illustrated by Fig. 16.1 which shows the bulge of our Galaxy observed in the hard X-rays by INTEGRAL (top), and in the visible domain (bottom).

X-ray diagnostics of ultra-compact X-ray binaries
2015Non-solar composition of the donor star in ultra-compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) may have a pronounced effect on the fluorescent lines appearing in their spectra due to reprocessing of primary radiation by the accretion disc and the white dwarf surface.

The end of life remains to be outlined for those objects which are too massive, concentrate much matter in the center, and lose too little to escape a supernova event. The prominent clues lie in the X-ray domain, inaccessible only a few years back. Comparatively little impact on double-star studies comes from the exploration of radio pulsars as bona ...
