On the universal X-ray luminosity function of binary X-ray sources in galaxies

Astrophysics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

The empirically determined universal power-law shape of X-ray luminosity function of high mass X-ray binaries in galaxies is explained by fundamental mass-luminosity and mass-radius relations for massive stars.
