EXO 1745−248 is a transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary that resides in the globular cluster Terzan 5. We studied the transient during its quiescent state using 18 Chandra observations of the cluster acquired between 2003 and 2016. We found an extremely variable source, with a luminosity...

Sivakoff, Gregory Robert, Tetarenko, Bailey E., Dubus, G., Lasota, Jean-Pierre, Heinke, Craig O.
The X-ray light curves of the recurring outbursts observed in low-mass X-ray binaries provide strong test beds for constraining (still) poorly understood disc-accretion processes. These light curves act as a powerful diagnostic to probe the physics behind the mechanisms driving mass inflow and...
