The hard to soft spectral transition in LMXBs - affected by recondensation of gas into an inner disk

E. Meyer-Hofmeister, B. F. Liu, F. Meyer

Application of the Disk Evaporation Model to AGNs

B. F. Liu, Ronald E. Taam

The disk corona evaporation model extensively developed for the interpretation of observational features of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) is applied to AGNs. Since the evapora…

GRB081028 and its late-time afterglow re-brightening

R. Margutti, F. Genet, J. Granot +19

Swift captured for the first time a smoothly rising X-ray re-brightening of clear non-flaring origin after the steep decay in a long gamma-ray burst (GRB): GRB081028. A rising phas…

Evolution of binary stars and its implications for evolutionary population synthesis

Z. Han, X. Chen, F. Zhang +1

Most stars are members of binaries, and the evolution of a star in a close binary system differs from that of an ioslated star due to the proximity of its companion star. The compo…

Primordial Binary Evolution and Blue Stragglers

X. Chen, Z. Han

Blue stragglers have been found in all populations. These objects are important in both stellar evolution and stellar population synthesis. Much evidence shows that blue stragglers…
