The Large Deficit of HMXB Emission from Luminous Infrared Galaxies: the Case of the Circumnuclear Starburst Ring in NGC 7552
Lacey West, Kristen Garofali, Bret D. Lehmer +5
Luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs), the most extreme star-forming galaxies in the nearby (D30 Mpc) Universe, show a notable X-ray emission deficiency (up to a factor of 10…
X-ray Binaries in External Galaxies
Marat Gilfanov, Giuseppina Fabbiano, Bret Lehmer +1
X-ray appearance of normal galaxies is mainly determined by X-ray binaries powered by accretion onto a neutron star or a stellar mass black hole. Their populations scale with the s…
X-ray luminosity function of high-mass X-ray binaries: Studying the signatures of different physical processes using detailed binary evolution calculations
Devina Misra, Konstantinos Kovlakas, Tassos Fragos +11
The ever-expanding observational sample of X-ray binaries (XRBs) makes them excellent laboratories for constraining binary evolution theory. Such constraints can be obtained by stu…
Average bolometric corrections and optical to X-ray flux measurements as a function of accretion rate for X-ray binaries
K. Anastasopoulou, A. Zezas, J. F. Steiner +1
In this paper we use an RXTE library of spectral models from 10 black-hole and 9 pulsar X-ray binaries, as well as model spectra available in the literature from 13 extra-galactic…
An expanded ultraluminous X-ray source catalogue
M. C. i Bernadich, A. D. Schwope, K. Kovlakas +2
Context. ULXs ( erg s) are excellent probes of accretion physics, star formation and IMBHs searches. As the sample size of X-ray data from modern obser…
Evidence for low kick velocities among high-mass X-ray binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud from the spatial correlation function
Arash Bodaghee, Vallia Antoniou, Andreas Zezas +7
We present the two-point cross-correlation function between high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and their likely birthplaces (OB Associations: OBAs…
