A catalogue of low-mass X-ray binaries in the Galaxy, LMC, and SMC (Fourth edition)

Understand

We present a new edition of the catalogue of the low-mass X-ray binaries in the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds.

• The catalogue contains source name(s), coordinates, finding chart, X-ray luminosity, system parameters, and stellar parameters of the components and other characteristic properties of 187 low-mass X-ray binaries, together with a comprehensive selection of the relevant literature.
• The aim of this catalogue is to provide the reader with some basic information on the X-ray sources and their counterparts in other wavelength ranges ($\gamma$-rays, UV, optical, IR, and radio).
• Some sources, however, are only tentatively identified as low-mass X-ray binaries on the basis of their X-ray properties similar to the known low-mass X-ray binaries.
