X-Ray Binaries, Accretion And Accretion Disks

Scientific paper

Large ground-based telescopes allow not only the observation of very faint objects, but also allow brighter sources to be studied at high time resolution, a region of parameter space largely ignored by most giant telescope facilities. This is the field of time domain astrophysics, for which SALT's instrumentation will be ideally suited, and where it can make important contributions to the study of accretion processes involving white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. Examples of such studies of X-ray binaries and microquasars will be reviewed so as to show how their fundamental parameters and accretion disc properties can be determined.
