Echoes in x-ray binaries by O'Brien, K, Horne, K, Hynes, R, Chen, W, Haswell, C, Still, MD

“…We present a method of analysing the correlated X-ray and optical/UV variability in X-ray binaries, using the observed time delays between the X-ray driving light curves and their reprocessed optical echoes. …”

Stellar winds in massive X-ray binaries by Kretschmar, P, Martínez-Núñez, S, Bozzo, E, Oskinova, L, Puls, J, Sidoli, L, Sundqvist, J, Blay, P, Falanga, M, Fürst, F, Gímenez-García, A, Kreykenbohm, I, Kühnel, M, Sander, A, Torrejón, J, Wilms, J, Podsiadlowski, P, Manousakis, A

“…Strong winds from massive stars are a topic of interest to a wide range of astrophysical fields. In High-Mass X-ray Binaries the presence of an accreting compact object on the one side allows to infer wind parameters from studies of the varying properties of the emitted X-rays; but on the other side the accretor's gravity and ionizing radiation can strongly influence the wind flow. …”

Evolution of intermediate-mass X-ray binaries driven by magnetic braking of Ap/Bp stars: I. Ultracompact X-ray binaries by Chen, W, Podsiadlowski, P

“…It is generally believed that ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) evolved from binaries consisting of a neutron star accreting from a low-mass white dwarf(WD) or helium star where mass transfer is driven by gravitational radiation. …”

X-ray binaries and the origin of binary millisecond pulsars by Podsiadlowski, P, Rappaport, S, Pfahl, E

“…Millisecond pulsars are widely believed to be the descendants of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). We review the main problems with this standard paradigm and how this is affected by the recently recognized importance of intermediate-mass X-ray binaries (IMXBs). …”

The first polarimetric signatures of infrared jets in X-ray binaries by Shahbaz, T, Fender, R, Watson, C, O'Brien, K

“…We present near-infrared linear spectropolarimetry of a sample of persistent X-ray binaries, Sco X-1, Cyg X-2 and GRS1915+105. The slopes of the spectra are shallower than what is expected from a standard steady-state accretion disc, and can be explained if the near-infrared flux contains a contribution from an optically thin jet. …”

Jet spectral breaks in black hole X-ray binaries by Russell, D, Markoff, S, Casella, P, Cantrell, A, Chatterjee, R, Fender, R, Gallo, E, Gandhi, P, Homan, J, Maitra, D, Miller-Jones, J, O'Brien, K, Shahbaz, T

“…In X-ray binaries, compact jets are known to commonly radiate at radio to infrared frequencies, whereas at optical to -ray energies, the contribution of the jet is debated. …”

The galactic population of low- and intermediate-Mass X-ray binaries by Pfahl, E, Rappaport, S, Podsiadlowski, P

“…We present the first study that combines binary population synthesis in the Galactic disk and detailed evolutionary calculations of low- and intermediate-mass X-ray binaries (L/IMXBs). Our approach allows us to follow completely the formation of incipient L/IMXBs and their evolution through the mass-transfer phase to the point when they become binary millisecond pulsars (BMPs). …”
