We report on recent progress in our theoretical understanding of X-ray binaries, which has largely been driven by new observations, and illustrate the interplay between theory and observations considering as examples intermediate-mass X-ray binaries, irradiation-driven evolution, ultraluminous X-ray sources and neutron stars with low-velocity kicks.

Resumen

Resumen

Presentamos una revisión sobre el reciente progreso teórico realizado en nuestra comprensión de binarias de rayos X, promovido en su mayoría, pоr nuevas observaciones y que ilustra la acción recíproca entre teoría y observaciones, considerando como ejemplos binarias de rayos X de masa intermedia, evolución impulsada por irradiación, fuentes de rayos X ultraluminosas y estrellas de neutrones con impulsos de baja velocidad.
