Scientific paper

We have identified a group of neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries which are likely accreting from the stellar wind of their companion rather than via the usual Roche-lobe overflow. If confirmed,this would be a previously unrecognized mode of mass transfer in LMXBs with significant implications for our understanding of their evolution and population, since these binaries could be X-ray active without being in contact. We will test for wind accretion by using the HETGS to search for fluorescent lines from stellar wind nebulae in these sources.
