| Name: Sudip Bhattacharyya Affiliation: Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Conference ID: ASI2015_932 Title : X-ray binary: a world of extremes Abstract Type : Plenary Abstract : X-ray binaries are accreting neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes. They primarily emit in X-ray wavelengths. I will explain why they are unique natural laboratories to probe some extreme aspects of the universe, and how some of their observational features can be used as tools for such probing. I will also discuss the current status of research in this field and what can be done in coming decades. |
