What are X-Ray Binary Stars?
X-ray binary stars are basically X-ray sources that are members of a binary system.They are a class of binary stars that produce a large quantity of X-rays. The X-rays are produced by matter falling from one of the members, called the donor, which is usually a relatively normal star, to the other component, called the accretor, which is generally a collapsed star like a white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole.Â?The fallen matter releases its gravitational potential energy as X-rays.Note: A binary star system is a system containing two stars that orbit around their common center of mass.
