Accretion disks and coronae in the X-ray flashlight
N Degenaar, DR Ballantyne, T Belloni… - Space Science …, 2018 - Springer
Plasma accreted onto the surface of a neutron star can ignite due to unstable thermonuclear
burning and produce a bright flash of X-ray emission called a Type-I X-ray burst. Such …

Swings between rotation and accretion power in a binary millisecond pulsar
It is thought that neutron stars in low-mass binary systems can accrete matter and angular
momentum from the companion star and be spun-up to millisecond rotational periods …

A hard look at the neutron stars and accretion disks in 4U 1636-53, GX 17+ 2, and 4U 1705-44 with NuStar
We present NuSTAR observations of neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binaries: 4U 1636-
53, GX 17+ 2, and 4U 1705-44. We observed 4U 1636-53 in the hard state, with an …
