Description
Certain Low Mass X-ray Binaries show very long-term quasi-periodic modulations in their X-ray lightcurves, as obtained from the All Sky Monitor on board the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. This suggests long-term variations in the mass-transfer rate from the donor, possibly as a result of its solar-like magnetic cycles.
