I’m interested in observational characteristics of accreting binaries, specially in globular clusters. A summary of my research is avilable
here.
Below, I share useful material related to my research:
A catalog of all identified X-ray binaries in globular clusters which show (or have shown) X-ray luminosity above \(10^{34}\) erg/s.
2. Catalog of stellar encounter rates for Galactic globular clusters
An online version of Tables 2 and 5 from Bahramian et al. 2013, listing stellar encounter rate for most Galactic globular clusters.
A mush up of Harris Catalog (Harris 1996), Stellar encounter rates catalog (Bahramian et al. 2013), theoretical mass estimates (Gnedin 2001) and some other globular cluster catalogs/studies I've seen plus a python script to get all stored information about a cluster in the command line.
4. Work by others
A list of scripts/packages/catalogs that I frequently use:
WATCHDOG: a comprehensive database of black hole (and black hole candidate) X-ray binary (BHXB) activity in the Galaxy. Maintained by B. Tetarenko.
Pulsars in globular clusters: a catalog of all known pulsars in Galactic globular clusters. Maintained by P. Freire.
Swift-XRT Globular Cluster Monitors: Swift-XRT monitoring of selected GCs. Maintained by M. Linares and J. Chenevez.
