Summary
| Description |
English: Artist's impression of a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB): an evolved low-mass yellow sub-giant star transfers mass to a neutron star. Because the accretor is a compact object, an accretion disc forms, which is the source of the X-rays. This image was produced using Rob Hynes' programme BinSim (version 0.8.1).
Nederlands: Artist impression van een lage-massa röntgendubbelster (low-mass X-ray binary, LMXB): een geëvolueerde gele lage-massa subreus draagt materie over aan een neutronenster. Doordat de accretor een compact object is ontstaat een accretieschijf, die de bron is van de röntgenstraling. De afbeelding is gemaakt met behulp van Rob Hynes' programma BinSim (versie 0.8.1). |
