Spin-Up of Low Luminosity Low Mass X-ray Binaries
We examine the spin-up of low luminosity, low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) to millisecond pulsars (MSPs). In the conventional spin-up model of the Ghosh & Lamb type, where the stellar magnetic field interacts with the Keplerian accretion disk, MSPs could be produced from LMXBs if magnetic field B∗ <∼ 10 8(Ṁ/1016g/s)1/2G, where Ṁ is the mass accretion rate. However, for Ṁ < Ṁc ∼ 10 g/s accretion ...
متن کاملThe radio luminosity of persistent X-ray binaries
We summarise all the reported detections of, and upper limits to, the radio emission from persistent (i.e. non-transient) X-ray binaries. A striking result is a common mean observed radio luminosity from the black hole candidates (BHCs) in the Low/Hard X-ray state and the neutron-star Z sources on the horizontal X-ray branch. This implies a common mean intrinsic radio luminosity to within a fac...
متن کاملX-ray Luminosity Function of Low-mass X-ray Binaries in Galaxies
X-ray luminosity function derived from observations of X-ray sources in galactic bulges can be explained by prinicipal evolutionary relations for mass accretion rate onto the compact object. The observed mean distribution of individual X-ray luminosities of galactic LMXB is satisfactorily described by a symmetric quasi-Lorentzian curve. The flux variance for bright sources is found to be propor...
متن کاملInfrared spectroscopy of low - mass X - ray binaries II
Using CGS4 on UKIRT, we have obtained 2.00–2.45 μm infrared spectra of a number of low-mass X-ray binaries including Sco X-1, Sco X-2, and GX13+1. Sco X-1 shows emission lines only, supporting our previous conclusion that the spectral type of the evolved secondary must be earlier than G5. Emission lines are also seen in the spectrum of Sco X-2, confirming the identity of the IR counterpart. We ...
متن کاملX-ray Luminosity Function and Total Luminosity of Low-mass X-ray Binaries in Early-type Galaxies
We have derived bias-corrected X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) of sources detected in a uniformly selected sample of 14 E and S0 galaxies observed with Chandra ACIS-S3. The entire sample yields 985 pointlike X-ray sources, with typical detections of 30–140 sources per galaxy. After correcting for incompleteness, the individual XLFs are statistically consistent with a single power law of a (di...
