On the nature of the break in the X-ray luminosity function of low-mass X-ray binaries

M. Revnivtsev, K. Postnov, A. Kuranov +1

We analyze a flux-limited sample of persistent and bright (with 2-10 keV fluxes exceeding 1.4e-10 erg/s/cm2) low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in our Galaxy. It is demonstrated that…
