Description
After our report on the flux decay of the neutron star transient SAX J1750.8-2900 (ATel #1662) we have continued monitoring the source with Swift-XRT in order to study its transition to quiescence. In these observations (performed between August 14th. and October 8th.) we detect the source at different flux levels, with the corresponding luminosity (at 6.3 kpc; Kaaret et al 2002, ApJ) swinging in the range ~ 10^34 - 10^35 erg/s.

    A Disc Wind Where You Least Expect It: The Outflow in the Short-period X-ray Binary UW CrB
    Studying outflows of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is important for understanding the physics of accretion, the evolution of compact binaries, and dynamics of the local interstellar medium. One significant source of these outflows is the accretion disc wind, which can blow away vast amounts of material from the disc before it can be accreted on

    Constraining the core-rotation rate along the red-giant evolution
    The evolution of the core rotation rate of red giant stars is a key parameter in understanding the stellar behavior in the late phases of stellar evolution. Thanks to the mixed-dipole modes, we can constrain the core rotation and internal rotational gradient as a star advances through the red-giant phase. This master thesis presents a pipeline
