Abstract:The landscape of Galactic X-ray sources made of accreting binaries, isolated objects and active stellar coronae has been significantly modified by the advent of the Chandra, XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL satellites. New types of relatively low X-ray luminosity X-ray binaries have been unveiled in the Galactic disc, while deep observations of the central regions have revealed large numbers of X-ray binaries of so far poorly constrained nature. Because of the high spatial resolution needed and faint X-ray luminosities… Show more
