X-rays from quiescent low-mass X-ray binary transients
I argue that it is very unlikely that X-rays from quiescent black-hole low-mass X-ray binary transients are emitted by coronae of companion stars. I show that in a simple model in which these X-rays are emitted by an ADAF filling the inner part of an unsteady, dwarf-nova type disc, the X-ray luminosity is correlated with the orbital period. I predict what values of X-ray luminosities from black...
متن کاملKinematical Studies of the Low Mass X - Ray Binary
We present simultaneous high-resolution optical spectroscopy and X-ray data of the X-ray binary system GRMus (XB 1254–690), obtained over a full range of orbital phases. The X-ray observations are used to re-establish the orbital ephemeris for this source. The optical data includes the first spectroscopic detection of the donor star in this system, through the use of the Doppler Tomography tech...
متن کاملBinary Population Synthesis: Low- and Intermediate-mass X-ray Binaries
As has only recently been recognized, X-ray binaries with intermediatemass secondaries are much more important than previously believed. To assess the relative importance of lowand intermediate-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs and IMXBs), we have initiated a systematic study of these systems consisting of two parts: an exploration of the evolution of LMXBs and IMXBs for a wide range of initial masses...
متن کاملI X - ray bursts in the low - mass X - ray binary 4 U 1636 – 53
Two flares with a duration of several hours are reported for the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636–53. The characteristics of these flares (i.e., decay time scales, spectral softening, fluences) are very similar to the very long type-I X-ray bursts recently found in several other low-mass X-ray binaries, suggesting that the flares in 4U 1636–53 are also very long type-I X-ray bursts. This would mak...
متن کاملX-ray neutron star magnetic field and magnetosphere evolution in low mass X-ray binary
The accretion induced neutron star magnetic field evolution is studied through considering the accretion flow to drag the field lines aside and dilute the polar field strength, and as a result the equatorial field strength increases and is buried inside the crust. The main conclusions of model are as follows: (i) the polar field decays with increasing the accreted mass; (ii) The bottom magnetic...
