Magnetic Braking of Ap/Bp Stars: Application to Compact Black-Hole X-Ray Binaries
S. Justham, S. Rappaport, Ph. Podsiadlowski
We examine the proposal that the subset of neutron-star and black-hole X-ray binaries that form with Ap or Bp star companions will experience systemic angular-momentum losses due t…
Models of Ultraluminous X-Ray Sources with Intermediate-Mass Black Holes
N. Madhusudhan, S. Justham, L. Nelson +4
We have computed models for ultraluminous X-ray sources ("ULXs") consisting of a black-hole accretor of intermediate mass ("IMBH"; e.g., ~1000 Msun) and a captured donor star. For…
An Infrared Imaging Survey of the Faint Chandra Sources near the Galactic Centre
R. M. Bandyopadhyay, J. C. A. Miller-Jones, K. M. Blundell +6
We present near-IR imaging of a sample of the faint, hard X-ray sources discovered in the 2001 Chandra ACIS-I survey towards the Galactic Centre (GC) (Wang et al. 2002). These ~800…
The spin period - eccentricity relation of double neutron stars: evidence for weak supernova kicks?
J D M Dewi, Ph Podsiadlowski, O R Pols
Double neutron stars (DNSs), binary systems consisting of a radio pulsar and a generally undetected second neutron star (NS), have proven to be excellent laboratories for testing t…
The Double Pulsar J0737--3039: Testing the Neutron Star Equation of State
Ph. Podsiadlowski, J. D. M. Dewi, P. Lesaffre +3
The double pulsar J0737--3039 has become an important astrophysical laboratory for testing fundamental physics. Here we demonstrate that the low measured mass of Pulsar B can be us…
Relativistic Binary Pulsars with Black-Hole Companions
Eric Pfahl, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Saul Rappaport
Binaries containing a stellar-mass black hole and a recycled radio pulsar have so far eluded detection. We present a focused investigation of the formation and evolution of these s…
