The project proposes a novel method to accurately measure the masses of components in low mass X-ray binary systems. By analyzing fluorescence lines and timing delays between X-ray and optical emissions, it aims to improve our understanding of stellar evolution and accretion theories.
Low mass X-ray binaries are two gravitationally bound stars where the secondary is a normal solar type like star and the primary a compact object, i.e. a black hole or neutron star.
Matter is transferred from the secondary, thereby forming an accretion disk around the compact object that gives rise to the X-rays.
These systems are excellent laboratories to test several theories, including stellar evolution, theory of accretion and the theory of relativity.
However, accurate measurements of the m…
