Evolutionary Period Changes for 25 X-Ray Binaries and the Measurement of an Empirical Universal Law for Angular Momentum Loss in Accreting Binaries

I measure and collect timings of phase markers (like eclipse times) for the orbits of 25 X-ray binaries (XRBs) so as to calculate the steady evolutionary period change ( $\dot{P}$ ). I combine these with my observed $\dot{P}$ measures from 52 cataclysmic variables (CVs). Further, I subtract out the...
