Transient low-mass X-ray binary populations in elliptical galaxies NGC3379 and NGC4278
We propose a physically motivated and self-consistent prescription for the modeling of transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) properties, such as duty cycle (DC), outburst duration, and recurrence time. We apply this prescription to the population synthesis models of field LMXBs present...
