Low Mass X-ray Binary As the Progenitor of PSR J1713+0747

Abstract

We have calculated the evolution of low-mass X-ray binaries that leads to the formation of the binary radio pulsars like PSR J1713+0747. We show that the mass transfer is most likely to be nonconservative, due to unstable disk accretion, to account for the mass of PSR J1713+0747, which is close to its initial value. We assume that part of the lost material from the binary may form a circumbinary disk, and find that it can significantly influence the mass transfer processes. We briefly discuss the implications of the circumbinary disks on the evolution of low-mass X-ray binaries and the formation of low-mass binary pulsars.
