Review of low-mass X-ray binaries near the galactic center
/ Authors
/ Abstract
We briefly review the results of observations of several low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in the Galactic center region carried out with the ART-P telescope on board GRANAT observatory. More than a dozen sources were revealed in this region during five series of observations which were performed with the ART-P telescope in 1990-1992. The investigation into the spectral evolution of persistent emission seen in two X-ray bursters, GX3+1 and KS1731-260, a discussion of QPO and spectral variations detected from the very bright Z-source GX5-1, and studies of the pulse profile changes of the pulsar GX1+4 are presented here.
