X-ray variability in transient X-ray sources.
Abstract
The X-ray variability of transient X-ray binaries is analyzed in terms of the orbital motion of the neutron star, centrifugal inhibition of accretion and of the variable moss loss rate due to activity of the optical counterpart. The systems A 0535+26 and V 0332+53 are studied in this respect.
