The puzzling orbital period evolution of the LMXB AX J 1745 . 6 - 2901
The orbital period evolution of X-ray binaries provides fundamental clues to understanding mechanisms of angular momentum loss from these systems. We present an X-ray eclipse timing analysis of the transient low mass X-ray binary AX J1745.6-2901. This system shows full eclipses and thus is one of the few objects for which accurate orbital evolution studies using this method can be carried out. ...
متن کاملCygni : a study of its eclipse timings
EM Cygni is a Z Cam-subtype eclipsing dwarf nova. Its orbital period variations were reported in the past but the results were in conflict to each other while other studies allowed the possibility of no period variation. In this study we report accurate new times of minima of this eclipsing binary and update its O−C diagram. We also estimate the mass transfer rate in EM Cygni system and conclud...
متن کاملThe effect of starspots on eclipse timings of binary stars
We investigate the effects that starspots have on the light curves of eclipsing binaries and in particular how they may affect the accurate measurement of eclipse timings. Concentrating on systems containing a low-mass main-sequence star and a white dwarf, we find that if starspots exhibit the Wilson depression they can alter the times of primary eclipse ingress and egress by several seconds fo...
متن کاملX-Ray Eclipse Timing in the LMXB EXO0748-676
Orbital period changes are an important diagnostic for understanding low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) accretioninduced angular momentum exchange and overall system evolution. We present our most recent results for the eclipse timing of the LMXB EXO 0748−676. Since its discovery in 1985 it has apparently undergone three distinct orbital period “epochs", each characterized by a different orbital peri...
متن کاملEclipse Timings of the Low Mass X-ray Binary EXO 0748–676 III. An Apparent Orbital Period Glitch Observed with USA and RXTE
We present 7 eclipse timings of the low mass X-ray binary EXO0748−676 obtained with the USA experiment during 1999−2000 as well as 122 eclipse timings obtained with RXTE during 1996−2000. According to our analysis, the mean orbital period has increased by ∼ 8 ms between the pre-RXTE era (1985−1990) and the RXTE/USA era (1996−2000). This corresponds to an orbital period derivative of Porb/Ṗorb ∼...
