Is the Lack of Pulsations in Low Mass X-Ray Binaries due to Comptonizing Coronae?

Ersin Gogus, M. Ali Alpar, Marat Gilfanov

The spin periods of the neutron stars in most Low Mass X-ray Binary (LMXB) systems still remain undetected. One of the models to explain the absence of coherent pulsations has been…
