Accreting binary populations in Nearby Galaxies: Observations and Simulations (A-BINGOS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2019,

"High-energy observations of our Galaxy offer a good, albeit not complete, picture of the X-ray source populations, in particular the accreting binary sources. Recent ability to study accreting binaries in nearby galaxies has shown that we would be short-sighted if we restricted ourselves to our Galaxy or to a few nearby ones. I propose an ambitious project that involves a comprehensive study of a ...
