Cooling of accretion-heated neutron stars

R Wijnands, N Degenaar, D Page - Journal of Astrophysics and …, 2017 - Springer
We present a brief, observational review about the study of the cooling behaviour of
accretion-heated neutron stars and the inferences about the neutron-star crust and core that …

Potential kick velocity distribution of black hole X-ray binaries and implications for natal kicks

P Atri, JCA Miller-Jones, A Bahramian… - Monthly Notices of …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
We use very long baseline interferometry to measure the proper motions of three black hole
X-ray binaries (BHXBs). Using these results together with data from the literature and Gaia …

Constraining the mass and radius of neutron stars in globular clusters

AW Steiner, CO Heinke, S Bogdanov… - Monthly Notices of …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
We analyse observations of eight quiescent low-mass X-ray binaries in globular clusters and
combine them to determine the neutron star mass–radius curve and the equation of state of …

A new radio census of neutron star X-ray binaries

J Van Den Eijnden, N Degenaar… - Monthly Notices of …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
We report new radio observations of a sample of 36 neutron star (NS) X-ray binaries, more
than doubling the sample in the literature observed at current-day sensitivities. These …

An overabundance of black hole X-ray binaries in the Galactic Centre from tidal captures

A Generozov, NC Stone, BD Metzger… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT A large population of X-ray binaries (XRBs) was recently discovered within the
central parsec of the Galaxy by Hailey et al. While the presence of compact objects on this …

The ultracompact nature of the black hole candidate X-ray binary 47 Tuc X9

A Bahramian, CO Heinke, V Tudor… - Monthly Notices of …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
Abstract 47 Tuc X9 is a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae,
and was previously thought to be a cataclysmic variable. However, Miller-Jones et al …

Deep radio imaging of 47 Tuc identifies the peculiar X-ray source X9 as a new black hole candidate

JCA Miller-Jones, J Strader, CO Heinke… - Monthly Notices of …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
We report the detection of steady radio emission from the known X-ray source X9 in the
globular cluster 47 Tuc. With a double-peaked C iv emission line in its ultraviolet spectrum …

Low-mass X-ray binaries

A Bahramian, N Degenaar - Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray …, 2024 - Springer
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 gravitationally bound low-mass (≲ 1 M⊙) …

The MAVERIC survey: Chandra/ACIS catalog of faint X-ray sources in 38 galactic globular clusters

A Bahramian, J Strader, JCA Miller-Jones… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Globular clusters host a variety of lower-luminosity (LX< 10 35 erg s− 1) X-ray sources,

Thermal evolution and quiescent emission of transiently accreting neutron stars

AY Potekhin, AI Chugunov, G Chabrier - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2019 - aanda.org
Aims. We study the long-term thermal evolution of neutron stars in soft X-ray transients
(SXTs), taking the deep crustal heating into account consistently with the changes of the …
