Implication

This catalog compiles outbursts from 87 transient neutron stars and low-mass XRBs, highlighting binary evolution factors.

Key Points

  • A total of 109 new outbursts were identified, contributing to our understanding of neutron stars and their behavior.
  • Outburst detection has been efficient since 1996 for those reaching a threshold of 3 × 10 −10 erg cm −2 s −1.
  • Forty of the systems tracked had zero or one recorded outburst from 1996 to 2023, indicating many may be faint Galactic center XRBs.
  • This catalog aids in exploring the physics of binary systems and their evolutionary patterns.
