DOI: 10.1007/s10509-024-04281-y
Abstract: Neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries accrete via Roche-lobe overflow from a stellar companion that is ≲ 1 M⊙. The accretion disk in these systems can be externally illuminated by X-rays that are reprocessed by the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa3539
Abstract: We have found and analysed 16 multi-peaked type-I bursts from the neutron-star low mass X-ray binary 4U 1636$-$53 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). One of the bursts is a rare quadruple-peaked burst which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1157
Abstract: We analysed a dedicated NuSTAR observation of the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary Z-source GX 13+1 to study the timing and spectral properties of the source. From the colour-colour diagram, we conclude that during that observation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae1087
Abstract: We present simultaneous Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope observations of three certain (X5, X7, W37) and two likely (X4, W17) quiescent neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries (qLMXBs) in the globular cluster 47 Tuc. We study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae1711
Abstract: X-ray observations of neutron star (NS) low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are useful to probe physical processes close to the NS and to constrain source parameters. Aql X-1 is a transient NS LMXB which frequently… read more here.

Long-term evolution of spin and other properties of neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries: Implications for millisecond X-ray pulsars

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stae2346
Abstract: A neutron star (NS) accreting matter from a companion star in a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) system can spin up to become a millisecond pulsar (MSP). Properties of many such MSP systems are known, which… read more here.
