Constraining the Physics of the X-ray Irradiated Accretion Discs in Low-mass X-ray Binaries with Observations
DownloadFall 2018
Recurring outbursts associated with matter flowing onto compact stellar remnants (black holes and neutron stars) in low-mass X-ray binary systems provide constraints on the poorly understood accretion process. Multi-wavelength light-curves and spectra of these bright outbursts provide powerful...

Exotic binaries in Galactic globular clusters: identification, classification, and their formation
DownloadFall 2021
Globular clusters (GCs) are dense and massive stellar populations, which provide a unique environment where the high stellar density facilitates frequent dynamical encounters, creating many exotic binaries. These exotic binaries generally have short orbits and often harbour compact objects,...
