The discovery of the record-setting 38 minute orbit of IGR J17062-6143 makes it the fastest known accreting milllisecond pulsar orbiting in binary system!
A peculiar X-ray binary may contain the first known white dwarf which is still in the process of contracting.
In Be/X-ray binaries — systems in which a Be star spins so fast that it throws its own matter away towards its neutron star companion — it’s possible for accretion discs to form that spin backwards. What does this mean for the stars?
Giant stars live only a short time, but have a profound effect on the galaxies that host them. Investigating them doesn’t require them to be brought back from the dead however, as today’s paper shows.
This month’s undergraduate research post features a student who examined V404 Cygni, an X-ray binary that underwent a period of outburst. Read on to find out more!
