Different manifestations of accretion onto compact objects

In this thesis I discuss phenomena that occur in systems that are referred to as low-mass X-ray binaries. These systems emit radiation over a large range of wavelengths but here I focus only on the X-ray emission. In this chapter, I briefly explain what these systems are. I introduce some of the mai...

Sumario:In this thesis I discuss phenomena that occur in systems that are referred to as low-mass X-ray binaries. These systems emit radiation over a large range of wavelengths but here I focus only on the X-ray emission. In this chapter, I briefly explain what these systems are. I introduce some of the main phenomena that arise in them and I discuss the methods by which these systems are studied.
