Reflecting on accretion in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries
Neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries accrete via Roche-lobe overflow from a stellar companion that is ≲ 1 M ⊙ . The accretion disk in these systems can...

Low-Mass X-ray Binaries
A large fraction of X-ray sources in our Galaxy are low-mass X-ray binaries, containing a black hole or a neutron star accreting from a...

High-Mass X-ray Binaries
Binary systems in which a neutron star or black hole accretes material from a high-mass star are known as high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs). This...

X-ray Binaries in External Galaxies
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....

A 5.3-min-period pulsing white dwarf in a binary detected from radio to X-rays
White dwarf stars are the most common stellar fossils. When in binaries, they make up the dominant form of compact object binary within the Galaxy...

The Power of Jets: New Clues from Radio Circular Polarization and X-Rays
Jets are ubiquitous in accreting black holes. Often ignored, they may be a major contributor to the emitted spectral energy distribution for...

High-Resolution Spectroscopy of X-ray Binaries
X-ray binaries, as bright local sources with short variability timescales for a wide range of accretion processes, represent ideal targets for...

Preparing for the VLTI: A Search for Pre-Main Sequence Spectroscopic Binaries
The most fundamental parameter of a star is its mass. For low mass pre-main sequence (pms) stars this parameter is practically always derived by...

LAXPC instrument onboard AstroSat: Five exciting years of new scientific results specially on X-ray binaries
With its large effective area at hard X-rays, high time resolution and having co-aligned other instruments, AstroSat/LAXPC was designed to usher in a...

GX 339-4: Is the Hot-Flow Precession Model Consistent with the Infrared Variability in Low-Mass X-ray Binaries?
AbstractDuring accretion-induced outbursts, low-mass X-ray binaries demonstrate a complex behavior accompanied by a rapid change in their spectral...

Neutron star mass estimates from gamma-ray eclipses in spider millisecond pulsar binaries
Reliable neutron star mass measurements are key to determining the equation of state of cold nuclear matter, but such measurements are rare. Black...

Black Holes: Accretion Processes in X-ray Binaries
Accretion onto black holes is one of the most efficient energy source in the universe. Black hole accretion powers some of the most luminous objects...
