Chandra X-Ray Observation of the Globular Cluster GLIMPSE-C01
D. Pooley, S. Rappaport, A. Levine +2
We have observed the recently discovered rich star cluster GLIMPSE-C01 for 46 ks with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Seventeen X-ray sources with luminosities greater than 0.6e31 e…
Binaries with Compact Components: Theoretical and Observational Challenges
Philipp Podsiadlowski, Eric Pfahl, Saul Rappaport
We report on recent progress in our theoretical understanding of X-ray binaries, which has largely been driven by new observations, and illustrate the interplay between theory and…
Probing the Spacetime Around Sgr A* with Radio Pulsars
Eric Pfahl, Avi Loeb
The supermassive black hole at the Galactic center harbors a bound cluster of massive stars that should leave neutron-star remnants. Extrapolating from the available data, we estim…
Binary Population Synthesis: Low- and Intermediate-Mass X-Ray Binaries
Philipp Podsiadlowski, Saul Rappaport, Eric Pfahl
As has only recently been recognized, X-ray binaries with intermediate-mass secondaries are much more important than previously believed. To assess the relative importance of low-…
Evolutionary Binary Sequences for Low- and Intermediate-Mass X-ray Binaries
Philipp Podsiadlowski, Saul Rappaport, Eric Pfahl
We present the results of a systematic study of the evolution of low- and intermediate-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs and IMXBs). Using a standard Henyey-type stellar-evolution code an…
A Comprehensive Study of Neutron Star Retention in Globular Clusters
Eric Pfahl, Saul Rappaport, Philipp Podsiadlowski
(abridged) Observations of very high speeds among pulsars in the Galactic disk present a puzzle regarding neutron stars in globular clusters. The inferred characteristic speed of s…
