This question is on X-ray data analysis of the low-mass X-ray binary neutron star sources?

Suppose, in a particular X-ray observation data set for a particular low-mass X-ray binary neutron star source, we find no QPO features, thermonuclear burst features or strong X-ray...

What are the popular plotting softwares that astromomers and astrophysicists use for publication? I am using XMGRACE and GNUPLOT? What about Matlab?

Supermongo and IDL are also very popular among astrophysicists. Are Matlab, Mathematica, Xmgrace, Gnuplot also popular among some groups?

Are jets in AGNs or X-ray binaries leptonic e- - e+, or they can they be also baryonic?

In the literature we find that relativistic e- - e+ jets are not possible. For truly relativistic jests, we need to have e- - p pairs.

What is the Rayleigh Taylor Stability criterion in the case of a rotating viscous fluid?

Why does the outward increase of angular momentum in an accretion disk make the disk Rayleigh stable? Since the density profile in an accretion disk increases inward in the case of constant...

Could someone explain what causes the high/soft to low/hard and vice versa state transitions in black hole candidates?

How does the mass accretion rate affect these transitions? Further can the hardening or softening of the spectrum in the accretion be related to the changes in the shock properties in accretion...

In a collapsar accretion disk or in binary accretion disks, what can be the magnitude of the gas and radiation pressure measured in cgs or SI units?

Also, in the accretion disks dominated by magnetic pressure what is the order of this magnetic pressure in cgs units? Also what is the order of the magentic field in Gauss? And finally are the...
