The Eclipsing Black Hole X-ray Binary M33 X-7: Understanding the Current Properties
Francesca Valsecchi, Bart Willems, Tassos Fragos +1
We explore the formation and evolution of the black hole X-ray binary system M33 X-7. In particular, we examine whether accounting for systematic errors in the stellar parameters i…
Deep Chandra Monitoring Observations of NGC 4278: Catalog of Source Properties
N. J. Brassington, G. Fabbiano, D. -W. Kim +11
We present the properties of the discrete X-ray sources detected in our monitoring program of the globular cluster (GC) rich elliptical galaxy, NGC 4278, observed with Chandra ACIS…
Comparing GC and Field LMXBs in Elliptical Galaxies with deep Chandra and Hubble data
D. -W. Kim, G. Fabbiano, N. J. Brassington +15
(abridged) We present a statistical study of the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) populations of three nearby, old elliptical galaxies: NGC 3379, NGC 4278, and NGC 4697. With a cumulat…
Transient Low-Mass X-Ray Binary Populations in Elliptical Galaxies NGC 3379 and NGC 4278
T. Fragos, V. Kalogera, B. Willems +12
We propose a physically motivated and self-consistent prescription for the modeling of transient neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) properties, such as duty cycle (DC),…
A multiphysics and multiscale software environment for modeling astrophysical systems
Simon Portegies Zwart, Steve McMillan, Stefan Harfst +2
We present MUSE, a software framework for combining existing computational tools for different astrophysical domains into a single multiphysics, multiscale application. MUSE facili…
Models for Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries in the Elliptical Galaxies NGC3379 and NGC4278: Comparison with Observations
T. Fragos, V. Kalogera, K. Belczynski +11
We present theoretical models for the formation and evolution of populations of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXB) in the two elliptical galaxies NGC 3379 and NGC 4278. The models are…
