In this thesis we investigate a novel binary formation channel with a semi- degenerate donor and examine the stability criteria in binary systems with a massive donor. First we will review the current basics in the understanding of binary systems along with where recent research has been moving...

In astrophysics, stellar evolution is one of the most discussed topics. Although a significant amount of research and advancement of instrumentation over the last few decades have contributed to this field greatly, our understanding of the pre-main sequence evolution remains largely incomplete....

A young neutron star cools mainly via neutrino emission from the star's core. Thus, the thermal evolution of neutron stars reflects changes in their core, constraining temperature-sensitive properties such as the composition of the core and the envelope of the neutron star. The neutron star in...

Relativistic jets are an ubiquitous element of systems with accreting black holes. These jets carry away a large fraction of the accreted energy which later energizes their surrounding media. On the largest scales, the jets from supermassive black holes found in the center of galaxies provide a...

Radiology reports are the primary medium through which physicians communicate findings and diagnoses from patients' medical scans. Examples include radiology reports for chest radiographs, CT scans of the brain, medical reports of retinal images, and more. However, the process of writing medical...

The equation of state for cold ultra-dense matter has puzzled astrophysicists for decades. This is because the conditions of supra-nuclear density matter, such as those in neutron stars, are not terrestrially replicable. X-ray light curves from accreting neutron stars have proven to be useful...

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...
