This timely text provides a comprehensive overview of the unique and varied behavior of these combinations. Fifteen specially-written chapters by a team of the world's foremost researchers in the field explore all aspects of the X-ray binaries, including the X-ray, ultraviolet, optical, and radio properties of these violent systems, and address key issues such as how these systems formed and what their fate might be. They also discuss X-ray bursts and quasi-periodic oscillations, the connections between millisecond radio pulsars and low-mass X-ray binaries, and how the magnetic field of a neutron star decays. This long-awaited review provides graduate students and researchers with the standard reference on X-ray binaries for many years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939405955360,"sku":"NEW0521599342","price":94.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/x-ray-binaries-cambridge-astrophysics-series-number-26-0521599342","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
