Abstract

We study the behavior of the numbers in 412 light curves of cataclysmic variables, x-ray binary systems, galaxies, pulsars, supernovae remnants and other x-ray sources present in the public data collected by the instrument All Sky Monitor on board of the satellite Rossi x-ray timing explorer. The temporal light curves were analyzed applying Newcomb-Benford Law. The first digit of the x-ray light curves coming from astrophysical systems obeys the Newcomb-Benford Law as an intrinsic behavior. The nonextensive statistical mechanics behavior of astrophysical sources seem to be the cause for these sources to obey the Newcomb-Benford law. Some x-ray binary systems, however, do not follow this behavior. These systems obey either a gaussian or a bimodal distribution.
