The nature of very-faint X-ray binaries: Near-infrared spectroscopy of 1RXH J173523.7354013 reveals a giant companion
A. W. Shaw, N. Degenaar, T. J. Maccarone +3
Very-faint X-ray binaries (VFXBs) are a sub-class of black holes and neutron stars in binaries that appear to be accreting at a very low rate. In addition to providing interesting…

An empirical connection between line-emitting regions and X-rays heating the accretion disc in BH-LMXB MAXI J1820070
B. E. Tetarenko, A. W. Shaw, P. A. Charles
The recurring transient outbursts in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) provide ideal laboratories to study the accretion process. Unlike their supermassive relatives, LMXBs are far t…
