Abstract:	摘要： A low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) contains either a neutron star or a black hole accreting materials from its low mass companion star. It is one of the primary astrophysical sources for studying stellar-mass compact objects and accreting phenomena. As with other binary systems, the most important parameter of an LMXB is the orbital period, which allows us to learn about the nature of the binary system and constrain the properties of the system's components, including the compact object. As a result, measuring the orbital periods of LMXBs is essential for investigating these systems even though fewer than half of them have known orbital periods. This article introduces the different methods for measuring the orbital periods in the X-ray band and reviews their application to various types of LMXBs, such as eclipsing and dipping sources, as well as pulsar LMXBs. 出版者： IOP Publishing 出版日期： 2014-11-01 出處： Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2014-11, Vol.14 (11), p.1367-1382 資源來源： IoP Science journals 識別號： ISSN: 1674-4527 識別號： ISSN: 2397-6209 識別號： DOI: 10.1088/1674-4527/14/11/001
