- Abstract
CURRENT models of X-ray sources in binary systems generally assume accretion on to a neutron star, a black hole or a white dwarf as the mechanism of X-ray production. The accretion takes place from either a stellar wind or the inner Lagrangian point1-5. Here we explore the possible existence of a compact X-ray source in a binary system, where the companion star ejects its envelope to become a planetary nebula.
