While the nature of this population is unknown, it is likely that several types of stellar objects contribute. For sources involving binary systems, accreting white dwarfs and accreting neutron stars with main sequence companions have been proposed. Among the accreting neutron star systems, previous studies have focused on stellar wind-fed sources. In this paper, we point out that binary systems in which mass transfer occurs via Roche lobe overflow (RLOF) can also contribute to this X-ray source population. A binary population synthesis study of the Galactic center region has been carried out, and it is found that evolutionary channels for neutron star formation involving the accretion induced collapse of a massive ONeMg white dwarf, in addition to the core collapse of massive stars, can contribute to this population. The RLOF systems would appear as transients with quiescent luminosities, above 2 keV, in the range from 10^31-10^32 ergs/s. The results reveal that RLOF systems primarily contribute to the faint X-ray source population in the Muno et al. (2003) survey and wind-fed systems can contribute to the less sensitive Wang et al. (2002) survey. However, our results suggest that accreting neutron star systems are not likely to be the major contributor to the faint X-ray source population in the Galactic center. }, added-at = {2009-11-13T18:08:19.000+0100}, author = {Belczynski, Krzysztof and Taam, Ronald E.}, biburl = {https://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2d4d8bb1411d45bb91d9e3c0d7f8fe202/ad4}, description = {On the Chandra X-ray Sources in the Galactic Center}, interhash = {282965a595899a685a0ccc27f7f4b9c9}, intrahash = {d4d8bb1411d45bb91d9e3c0d7f8fe202}, keywords = {Center Chandra Galactic Neutron Stars X-Ray}, note = {cite arxiv:astro-ph/0311287 Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures, 1 table ApJ in press (Dec 2004).

While X-ray source counterparts are known to range from distant quasars to nearby M dwarfs, the RASS data alone are often insufficient to determine the nature of an X-ray source. As a result, large-scale follow-up programs are required to construct samples of known X-ray emitters. We use optical data produced by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to identify 709 stellar X-ray emitters cataloged in the RASS and falling within the SDSS Data Release 1 footprint. Most of these are bright stars with coronal X-ray emission unsuitable for SDSS spectroscopy, which is designed for fainter objects (g > 15 mag). Instead, we use SDSS photometry, correlations with the Two Micron All Sky Survey and other catalogs, and spectroscopy from the Apache Point Observatory 3.5 m telescope to identify these stellar X-ray counterparts. Our sample of 707 X-ray-emitting F, G, K, and M stars is one of the largest X-ray-selected samples of such stars. We derive distances to these stars using photometric parallax relations appropriate for dwarfs on the main sequence, and use these distances to calculate LX. We also identify a previously unknown cataclysmic variable (CV) as a RASS counterpart. Separately, we use correlations of the RASS and the SDSS spectroscopic catalogs of CVs and white dwarfs (WDs) to study the properties of these rarer X-ray-emitting stars. We examine the relationship between (fX/fg) and the equivalent width of the Hbeta emission line for 46 X-ray-emitting CVs and discuss tentative classifications for a subset based on these quantities. We identify 17 new X-ray-emitting DA (hydrogen) WDs, of which three are newly identified WDs.

The catalog contains 1352 objects that are highly-absorbed (N_H > 4e22 cm^-2 and are therefore likely to lie near the Galactic center (D~8 kpc), and 549 less-absorbed sources that lie within <6 kc of Earth. Based on the inferred luminosities of the X-ray sources and the expected numbers of various classes of objects, we suggest that the sources with L_X < 1e33 erg/s that comprise ~90% of the catalog are cataclysmic variables, and that the ~100 brighter objects are accreting neutron stars and black holes, young isolated pulsars, and Wolf-Rayet and O stars in colliding-wind binaries. We find that the spatial distribution of X-ray sources matches that of the old stellar population observed in the infrared, which supports our suggestion that most of the X-ray sources are old cataclysmic variables. However, we find that there is an apparent excess of ~10 bright sources in the Radio Arches region. That region is already known to be the site of recent star formation, so we suggest that the bright sources in this region are young high-mass X-ray binaries, pulsars, or WR/O star binaries. We briefly discuss some astrophysical questions that this catalog can be used to address. }, added-at = {2009-07-21T12:32:20.000+0200}, author = {Muno, M. P. and Bauer, F. E. and Bandyopadhyay, R.
