Fall 2016
Low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are systems of compact stellar remnants accreting from a low mass companion star. These systems show various levels of mass transfer on various timescales. Many aspects of accretion in these systems are still not fully understood, specifically the emission...

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,...

Fall 2019
Massive stars end their life through explosive supernovae, leaving behind supernova remnants (SNRs) and forming neutron stars (NSs) or black holes (BHs). Studying the X-rays emitted from BHs, NSs, and SNRs allows us to investigate the high energy processes producing this radiation....
