Exploring the Nature of Weak Chandra Sources near the Galactic Centre
R. M. Bandyopadhyay, K. M. Blundell, Ph. Podsiadlowski +5
We present early results from the first IR imaging of the weak X-ray sources discovered in a recent Chandra survey towards the Galactic Centre. From our VLT observations we will id…
On the Evolution and Appearance of a Surviving Companion after a Type Ia Supernova Explosion
Philipp Podsiadlowski
One promising method to test progenitor models for Type Ia supernovae is to identify surviving companion stars in historical supernova remnants. A surviving companion will have bee…
Cataclysmic Variables with Evolved Secondaries and the Progenitors of AM CVn Stars
Ph. Podsiadlowski, Z. Han, S. Rappaport
We present the results of a systematic study of cataclysmic variables (CVs) and related systems, combining detailed binary-population synthesis (BPS) models with a grid of 120 bina…
Common-Envelope Evolution: the Nucleosynthesis in Mergers of Massive Stars
N. Ivanova, Ph. Podsiadlowski, H. Spruit
We study the merging of massive stars inside a common envelope for binary systems consisting of a red supergiant with a mass of 15-20 Msun and a main-sequence companion of 1-5 Msun…
The outburst radial velocity curve of X-Ray Nova Scorpii 1994 (=GRO J1655--40)
S. N. Phillips, T. Shahbaz, Ph. Podsiadlowski
We present a reanalysis of the outburst radial velocity data for X-Ray Nova Scorpii 1994. Using a model based on X-ray heating of the secondary star we suggest a more realistic tre…
The Effects of High-Velocity Supernova Kicks on the Orbital Properties and Sky Distributions of Neutron Star Binaries
W. N. Brandt, Ph. Podsiadlowski
We systematically investigate the effects of high supernova kick velocities on the orbital parameters of post-supernova neutron-star binaries. Using Monte- Carlo simulations, we de…
