In this chapter we give an overview of the properties of X-ray binary systems containing a weakly magnetized neutron star. These are old (Giga-years life-time) semi-detached binary systems containing a neutron star with a relatively weak…

During a search for coherent signals in the X-ray archival data of XMM-Newton, we discovered a modulation at 1.2 s in 3XMM J004301.4+413017 (3X J0043), a source lying in the direction of an external arm of M 31. This short period indicates…

In this paper we present calculations of period distribution for old accreting isolated neutron stars (INSs). At the age about a few billions years low velocity INSs come to the stage of accretion. At that stage their period evolution is…

A young neutron star with large spin-down power is expected to be closely surrounded by an e+/- pair plasma maintained by the conversion of gamma-rays associated with the star's polar-cap and/or outer-gap accelerators. Cyclotron-resonance…

The gamma-ray binary LS I+61 303 has been widely monitored at different wavelengths since its discovery more than sixty years ago. However, the nature of the compact object and the peculiar behavior of the system are still largely debated.…

We report here the results of a 90 ks BeppoSAX observation of the low mass X-ray binary and atoll source KS 1731-260 during a quiescent phase. From this observation we derive a source X-ray luminosity of \sim 10^{33} ergs/s (for a source…

The presence of quark-hadron phase transitions in neutron stars can be related to several interesting phenomena. In particular, previous calculations have shown that fast rotating neutron stars, when subjected to a quark-hadron phase…

Using the intrinsic PSR J1903+0327 parameters evaluated from radio observations (mass, rotation period and dipole magnetic field deduced from the timing properties) we calculate the mass of its neutron star progenitor, M_i, at the onset of…

We consider the final evolutionary stages of a neutron star-black hole pair. According to the current paradigm, such systems eventually coalesce, which in some cases is accompanied by neutron-star tidal disruption. Using analytical methods,…

We study the spin-flavor transitions of neutrinos in the magnetic fields of a collapsing star. For the neutrino mass squared difference (10^{-10} - 10) eV^2 the transitions take place in almost isotopically neutral region of the star, where…

We present a simple model for the evolutionary states of neutron stars in pre-low-mass X-ray binaries during the main sequence stage of donor stars. It is shown that for typical parameters some of the neutron stars in these systems can not…

A phase transition in the nature of matter in the core of a neutron star, such as quark deconfinement or Bose condensation, can cause the spontaneous spin-up of a solitary millisecond pulsar. The spin-up epoch for our model lasts for…

The supernova impostor SN 2010da located in the nearby galaxy NGC 300, later identified as a likely supergiant B[e] high-mass X-ray binary, was simultaneously observed by NuSTAR and XMM-Newton between 2016 December 16 and 20, over a total…

LSI +61 303 is one of the few X-ray binaries with a Be star companion from which radio, X-rays and high-energy gamma-ray (GeV and TeV) emission have been observed. The nature of the high energy activity of the system is not yet fully…

Observations of the X-ray pulsar 4U 2206+54, performed over a 15-year span, show its period, which is now 5555 \pm 9 s, to increase drastically. Such behavior of the pulsar can be hardly explained in the frame of traditional scenarios of…

The observed X-ray pulse period of OB-type high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) pulsars are typically longer than 100 seconds. It is considered that the interaction between the strong magnetic field of neutron star and the wind matter could cause…

In the core of a canonical spinning magnetized neutron star(NS) a nearly uniform superfluid neutron vortex-array interacts strongly with a twisted array of magnetic flux-tubes threading the core's superconducting protons. One consequence is…

The neutron-star X-ray source 1E 161348-5055, associated with the supernova remnant RCW 103, exhibits clear intensity variations with a period of 6.67 hr. To clarify the nature of this object and its long periodicity, detailed timing…

The presence of neutron stars in at least three ultraluminous X-ray sources is now firmly established and offers an unambiguous view of super-critical accretion. All three systems show long-timescale periods (60-80 days) in the X-rays…

We investigate the statistical evolution of magnetic neutron stars recycled in Low Mass Binary (LMB) systems, simulating synthetic populations. Irrespective to the details of the physical models, we find to be significant the fraction of…
