Low Mass X-ray Binary Simulation Data Release

Chatrik Singh Mangat, Natalia Ivanova, Kenny Van

We present DABS (Database of Accreting Binary Simulations), an open-access database of modelled Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs). DABS has been created using evolutionary tracks of…

Constraining Progenitors of Observed LMXBs Using CARB Magnetic Braking

Kenny X. Van, Natalia Ivanova

We present a new method for constraining the mass transfer evolution of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) - a reverse population synthesis technique. This is done using the detailed…

Evolving LMXBs: CARB Magnetic Braking

K. X. Van, N. Ivanova

The formation of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is an ongoing challenge in stellar evolution. The important subset of LMXBs are the binary systems with a neutron star (NS) accreto…

Low Mass X-ray Binaries: The Effects of the Magnetic Braking Prescription

K. X. Van, N. Ivanova, C. O. Heinke

We present a population study of low- and intermediate-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) with neutron star accretors, performed using the detailed 1D stellar evolution code MESA. We iden…

Formation of black hole X-ray binaries with non-degenerate donors in globular clusters

Natalia Ivanova, Cassio A. da Rocha, Kenny X. Van +1

In this Letter we propose a formation channel for low-mass X-ray binaries with black hole accretors and non-degenerate donors via grazing tidal encounters with subgiants. We estima…

Stability of mass transfer from massive giants: double black-hole binary formation and ultra-luminous X-ray sources

K. Pavlovskii, N. Ivanova, K. Belczynski +1

The mass transfer in binaries with massive donors and compact companions, when the donors rapidly evolve after their main sequence, is one of the dominant formation channels of mer…
