I will present my work on identifying faint X-ray sources in multiple Galactic globular clusters (GCs). These X-ray sources could be close binaries hosting compact stellar remnants (white dwarfs, black holes, and neutron stars) and magnetically active binaries. For some GCs, we incorporate deep radio imaging data in our analyses to reveal potential candidates of millisecond pulsars and accreting black holes/neutron stars.

Dr. Yue Zhao received his bachelor’s degree in physics from Lanzhou University in 2014 and obtained his PhD in astrophysics from the University of Alberta. He is currently a research fellow at the University of Southampton, working with Dr. Poshak Gandhi. Dr. Zhao's research interests include observational studies of supernova natal kicks, multiwavelength observations of exotic binaries in globular clusters, and searches for compact objects in binaries from large surveys.
