dc.description.abstractLong-term variability in all types of X-ray binaries is a well established characteristic, but due to observation limitations and lack of long-term monitoring capability these variations have not been studied before in a systematic way. In this thesis, we exploit the ~ 16 yr optical light curves from the MACHO and OGLE databases, and combine these with archival XMM-Newton X-ray observations to study the long-term properties of Be/X-ray binaries and Supersoft X-ray Sources in the Magellanic Clouds.en_ZA
