X-ray binary

Called low-mass X-ray binaries, about 100 such systems are known in the galaxy, he said.

The spectra of X-ray binaries have been observed to go through various transition states.

In X-ray binaries, the compact object can be either a neutron star or a black hole.

He has also worked on X-ray binaries, neutron stars and supernova remnants in the past.

This method allows distance determination of some low-mass X-ray binaries.

Other galactic sources such as pulsar wind nebulae or X-ray binaries.

MSPs are believed to be the end product of X-ray binaries.

Low-mass X-ray binaries are very faint in the optical, making measuring their distances extremely difficult.

X-ray binaries are a class of binary stars that are luminous in X-rays.

X-ray binaries are further subdivided into several (sometimes overlapping) subclasses, that perhaps reflect the underlying physics better.

X-ray binaries are binary star systems that are luminous in the X-ray part of the spectrum.

Some X-ray binaries and active galaxies are able to maintain luminosities close to the Eddington limit for very long times.

The Small Magellanic Cloud contains a large and active population of X-ray binaries.

Currently, better candidates for black holes are found in a class of X-ray binaries called soft X-ray transients.

The first year of observing with the new 0.9 m telescope included imaging of intrinsic variable stars and high-mass X-ray binaries.

SXTs are a class of low-mass X-ray binaries.

One of the most famous high-mass X-ray binaries is Cygnus X-1, which was the first identified black hole candidate.

With graduate student Jon Miller, Lewin made extensive studies of black-hole X-ray binaries in our galaxy.

The young stellar population and the majority of the known X-ray binaries are concentrated in the SMC's Bar.

X-ray binaries, SNR, gravitational lenses etc.

Similarly, X-ray binaries are generally accepted to be binary star systems in which one of the two stars is a compact object accreting matter from its companion.

Other systems which often contain polar jets include cataclysmic variable stars, X-ray binaries and T Tauri stars.

He is best known for his work studying the X-ray properties of active galaxies, X-ray binaries, and other cosmic X-ray sources.

In these "X-ray binaries," the X-rays originate from material traveling from the normal star to the neutron star in a process called accretion.

Van der Klis's research focuses on X-ray binaries, pairs of stars orbiting each other that emit X-ray radiation.
