论文摘要
在2018年，我们报告了我们在银河系中央Parsec（PC）中发现了十几个静态的X射线二进制文件（Hailey etal。2018）。在最近的后续文件（Mori等，2021年）中，我们对中央PC及其他地区的这些来源和其他X射线二进制文件（XRB）进行了扩展分析，这表明，12个非热源的大多数非全部非电源可能都是黑洞低量X射线X射线二进制二进制（BH-LMXB）候选人。作为回应，MacCarone等人。 2022年（下文中的TM22）论证，主要是基于这样的说法，即中子恒星低质量X射线二进制文件（NS-LMXB）通常没有短暂的爆发复发时间（<〜10 yr），即它们不能被排除在12个Quiescent x射线X射线X射线binary sarine Sucucty的指定中。 TM22在其研究中引用了三个主要因素：（1）RXTE和MAXI检测到的NS瞬变的X射线爆发数据，（2）NS-LMXBS的银河系种群和（3）（3）（持续）静态的NS-LMXB在球状簇中。我们解决了TM22的这些论点，并纠正了他们对我们作品和文学的误解，尽管Mori等人已经对这些观点进行了彻底解决。 2021年。我们还纠正了TM22的断言，即我们的论点仅基于NS瞬态的复发时间。
In 2018, we reported our discovery of a dozen quiescent X-ray binaries in the central parsec (pc) of the Galaxy (Hailey et al. 2018). In a recent follow-up paper (Mori et al. 2021), we published an extended analysis of these sources and other X-ray binaries (XRBs) in the central pc and beyond, showing that most if not all of the 12 non-thermal sources are likely black hole low-mass X-ray binary (BH-LMXB) candidates. In response, Maccarone et al. 2022 (TM22 hereafter) argued, primarily on the claim that neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (NS-LMXBs) often do not have short outburst recurrence times (<~ 10 yr), that they cannot be excluded as a designation for the 12 quiescent X-ray binary sources. TM22 cites three main factors in their study: (1) X-ray outburst data of NS transients detected by RXTE and MAXI, (2) the Galactic population of NS-LMXBs, and (3) (persistently) quiescent NS-LMXBs in globular clusters. We address these arguments of TM22 and correct their misunderstandings of our work and the literature, even though most of these points have already been thoroughly addressed by Mori et al. 2021. We also correct TM22's assertion that our arguments are based solely on NS transients' recurrence times.
