Linked from

The 17 pages that link to X-ray binary, each with the reason it gives.

• Accretion diskBroader topic: Its bright accretion disk converts gravitational energy into observable X-ray radiation.

• Cygnus X-1Narrower topic: Cygnus X-1 is a massive-star member of this broader class.

• Roche-lobe overflowBroader topic: Overflow can supply the compact object with gas that heats to X-ray-emitting temperatures.

• Roche lobeBroader topic: Many systems feed their compact object through gas overflowing a companion’s lobe.

• Frame-draggingRelated: Relativistic precession in some systems is interpreted as evidence of strong frame-dragging.

• Millisecond pulsarBroader topic: Many millisecond pulsars pass through an X-ray-bright accretion phase while being spun up.

• UhuruNarrower topic: Many sources catalogued by Uhuru belong to this class.

• Einstein ObservatoryRelated: The observatory mapped stellar X-ray binaries across the Galaxy.

• 47 TucanaeBroader topic: Close stellar encounters in 47 Tucanae can form X-ray-emitting binaries.

• XMM-NewtonRelated: Long observations track the changing X-ray emission of accreting compact stars.

• Cataclysmic variable starCompared with: Its compact accretor is usually more massive and more extreme than a white dwarf.

• X-ray pulsarNarrower topic: Many X-ray pulsars are powered by mass transfer within such systems.

• Stellar black holeBroader topic: Some systems reveal a stellar black hole through X-rays from captured companion-star matter.

• Galactic astronomyBroader topic: These systems expose compact stellar remnants and the high-energy processes within the Milky Way.

• Astrophysical X-ray sourceBroader topic: Gas transferred between the stars often forms a luminous X-ray source.

• Black hole astronomyBroader topic: These systems expose stellar-mass black holes through their companion-fed emission.

• Common envelopeRelated: Envelope-driven orbital shrinkage can create the close compact-object binaries seen as X-ray sources.
