The impact of surface temperature inhomogeneities on quiescent neutron star radius measurements
K. Elshamouty, C. Heinke, S. Morsink +2
Fitting the thermal X-ray spectra of neutron stars (NSs) in quiescent X-ray binaries can constrain the masses and radii of NSs. The effect of undetected hot spots on the spectrum,…

The Soft X-ray Spectrum of the High Mass X-Ray Binary V0332+53 in Quiescence
K. Elshamouty, C. Heinke, R. Chouinard
The propeller effect should cut off accretion in fast-spinning neutron star high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) at low mass transfer rates. However, accretion continues in some HMXBs…
