X-Ray binary
class of binary stars
X-Ray binary
changeX-Ray binary are a type of Binary star system that has a star, called a donor (usually a main sequence star) and an accretor, the accretor is either a neutron star or black hole. The donor gives matter to the accretor. The systems are luminous in X-Rays which are formed from the matter falling from the donor.
Classification
changeX-Ray binaries are subdivided into several subclasses. They include:
Low-mass X-ray binary (LMXBs)
Soft X-ray transients (SXTs)
Super soft X-ray sources (SSXs)
Accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars (AMXPs)
Intermediate-mass X-ray binary (IMXBs)
Be/X-ray binary (BeXRBs)
Supergiant X-ray binary (SGXBs)
Supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXTs)
