The distances to Galactic low-mass X-ray binaries: consequences for black hole luminosities and kicks
We investigated the reported distances of Galactic black hole (BH) and neutron star low‐mass X‐ray binaries (LMXBs). Comparing the distances derived for the neutron stars Cyg X–2 and XTE J2123–058 using the observed Eddington limited photospheric radius expansion bursts with the distances derived using the observed radius and effective temperature …
