We report on the X-ray aperiodic timing analysis of two accreting millisecond pulsars: XTE J1807-294 and IGR J00291+5934. On the one hand, we discovered in XTE...
Accreting white dwarfs as probes of compact binary evolution
In the last 20 years, the study of compact interacting binaries has led to two major breakthroughs in astrophysics: the discovery of dark energy and the first...
Accretion and winds in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries
In recent decades, observations of the X-ray and radio continuum have been instrumental in studying the coupling between accretion and ejection processes in low...
Low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXB) are stellar systems where a neutron star or a black hole accretes mass from a low-mass ($\lesssim$ 1M$_\odot$) donor star. A...
Accretion Disk Lifetimes and Stellar Rotation Periods for Young Stars in NGC 2264
We present the initial results of a study aimed at: (1) determining the lifetime of the disk accretion phase among low mass pre-main sequence stars; (2)...
Accretion onto Neutron Stars: States and State Transitions
About 150 weakly magnetic neutron stars are known to accrete matter from low-mass stars in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (NS-LMXBs). Accretion in these...
Accretion-induced variability of interacting red giant binaries masquerading as oscillations
Symbiotic stars are strongly interacting binaries with long orbital periods, containing an evolved red giant and a white dwarf or a neutron star embedded in a...
