Constraining the Physics of the X-ray Irradiated Accretion Discs in Low-mass X-ray Binaries with Observations

Fall 2018

Tetarenko, Bailey E.

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...
