Cataclysmic variables (CVs) are binary stellar systems with a white dwarf (WD) and a companion star that is losing mass to the WD. When the magnetic field of the WD is strong enough, the accreting matter follows its magnetic field lines then falls near a magnetic pole. This leads to emission of...

In this thesis we study X-ray millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in the Galactic globular clusters (GCs) to better understand the X-ray emission from them. We analyze 55 ks and 290 ks of Chandra X-ray observations of the clusters M13 and Omega Cen, respectively. We find confident X-ray counterparts to...
