Includes bibliographical references. Quasi-periodic super-orbital modulations are an established feature of several luminous X-ray binaries. The mechanisms that have been proposed to be responsible for such modulations include irradiation-driven warping/tilting and tidally-induced precession of the accretion disc, jet precession and the modulation of the mass-transfer rate due to an accretion disc instability or the effects of a third body. 2015-01-02T09:24:56Z 2015-01-02T09:24:56Z 2012 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11038 eng application/pdf University of Cape Town Faculty of Science Department of Astronomy
