Forty Years of X-Ray Binaries
In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...
متن کاملJet Interactions in Massive X-ray Binaries
Massive X-ray binaries are formed by a compact object that accretes matter from the stellar wind of an early-type donor star. In some of these systems, called microquasars, relativistic jets are launched from the surroundings of the compact object. Such jets interact with the photon field of the companion star, the stellar wind, and, at large distances, with the interstellar medium. In this pap...
متن کاملGamma-ray absorption in massive X-ray binaries
Gamma-ray emission in the TeV (1012 eV) range has been detected by HESS from two X-ray binaries: PSR B125963 and LS 5039. In both, the early-type star provides large numbers of target photons for pair-production with TeV γ-rays. This results in a modulation of the γ-ray flux as the relative positions of the γ-ray source and companion star change with orbital phase for the observer. The extent t...
متن کاملProbing the X-ray Variability of X-ray Binaries
Kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) has been regarded as representing the Keplerian frequency at the inner disk edge in the neutron star X-ray binaries. The so-called “parallel tracks” on the plot of the kHz QPO frequency vs. X-ray flux in neutron star Xray binaries, on the other hand, show the correlation between the kHz QPO frequency and the X-ray flux on time scales from hours t...
