Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing an up-to-date overview of research in the field of high-mass X-ray binaries, this volume consists of the contributions made at IAU Symposium 346. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it includes reviews on massive star winds and HMXB donors, Be Stars in the X-ray binary context, dynamical versus isolated formation channels of gravitational-wave sources, HMXBs as progenitors of double compact objects, HMXBs in the Early Universe and their impact in cosmology and gravitational wave astrophysics, as well as the summary review 'High Mass X-ray Binaries: Beacons in a Stormy Universe'. This Symposium provides a bridge between the relatively mature field of massive binary astrophysics and the newly emerging field of gravitational wave astronomy, indicating the future development of this growing branch of astrophysics. It is essential reading for graduate students and researchers who are looking to gain a general overview of current research activity on X-ray binaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: X-ray binaries are some of the most varied and perplexing systems known to astronomers. The compact object which accretes mass from its companion star may be a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole, whereas the donor star can be a 'normal' star or a white dwarf. The various combinations differ widely in their behaviour, and this timely volume provides a unique reference of our knowledge to date of all of them.Fifteen specially written chapters by a team of the world's foremost researchers in the field explore all aspects of the X-ray binaries. They cover the X-ray, ultraviolet, optical and radio properties of these violent systems and address key issues such as: how were these systems formed, and what will be their fate; how can we understand X-ray bursts, and how the quasi-periodic oscillations; what is the connection between millisecond radio pulsars and low-mass X-ray binaries; and how does the magnetic field of a neutron star decay?This long awaited review provides graduate students and researchers with the standard reference on X-ray binaries for many years to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since their discovery, the study of High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) has revealed an extremely powerful and energetic environment that is capable of accelerating particles to Very High Energies (VHE). With the advent of more advanced gamma-ray astronomy technology in the last decade a small number of HMXBs have been detected at GeV and TeV energies which has led to the classification of gamma-ray binary systems. One of these systems, PSR B1259-63, has been intensively studied in the past decade to understand the origins of the off-set GeV flaring during orbital periastron. An analysis I have conducted of Fermi-LAT observations of the 2017 passage, along with comparison to previous observations, has led to new insight of the GeV flare origin where the energy is released from unshocked and weakly shocked electrons of the pulsar wind as a beaming effect in the direction of the observer. With current X-ray telescopes, resolving the multiple X-ray emission sources and high variability of HMXBs requires extremely long observations and even then, may not be resolvable. The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU), currently in development, will be capable of significantly higher resolution observations on both the energy and time scale. Vela X-1 is an archetypical HMXB where the spectra exhibit many emission lines that vary during the orbital eclipse of the binary companion. X-IFU will have the ability to detect changes in the emission line profile and possibly discover new emission lines. I have simulated X-IFU observations of Vela X-1 with theoretical line profiles modelled with XSTAR. The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will provide an order of magnitude greater sensitivity of the TeV observations of HMXBs. In my work I have studied the capability of CTA to detect variability from microquasars depending on their fluxes and observation exposure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technological advances in X-ray astronomy have recently led to the discovery of a large number of previously undetected accreting binaries, increasing by an order of magnitude their known population in the Galaxy. This meeting addressed the current state of observational and theoretical research into the X-ray binary population as a whole, including both well-studied systems and the newly discovered populations, and examined the interaction of X-ray binaries with their environment within our own Galaxy and in external galaxies.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The known population of high-mass X-ray binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud is continually growing and is now a similar size to that of the Milky Way, despite a significant mass difference between the two galaxies. In this thesis, I present multi-wavelength observations of BelX-ray binaries that have undergone an out- burst during the past three years, including the discovery of new systems and ex- tended outbursts from previously known sources. The results are discussed in terms of both the underlying physics of individual outbursts and how the growing SMC population is helping our understanding of the formation and evolution of high- mass X-ray binaries. In particular, I describe the orbital analysis of every extended X-ray outburst detected by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer and present the first significant sample of systems outside of the Milky Way for which a binary orbital solution is known.
