Formation and Evolution of Compact Stellar X-ray Sources

Thomas M. Tauris, Ed van den Heuvel

In this chapter we review the formation and evolution of compact binaries with neutron star and/or black hole components (i.e. LMXBs, HMXBs, binary pulsars). After an introduction…

On the pre-RLO spin-orbit couplings in LMXBs

T. M. Tauris

We investigate the effect of orbital decay caused by nuclear expansion of a (sub)giant star in synchronous binary system. We compare this effect with the presence of a magnetic ste…

New Direct Observational Evidence for Kicks in SNe

T. M. Tauris, E. P. J. van den Heuvel

We present an updated list of direct strong evidence in favour of kicks being imparted to newborn neutron stars. In particular we discuss the new cases of evidence resulting from r…

Spin-Orbit Couplings in X-ray Binaries

T. M. Tauris, G. J. Savonije

We discuss the influence of tidal spin-orbit interactions on the orbital dynamics of close intermediate-mass X-ray binaries. In particular we consider here a process in which spin…

Constraints on mass ejection in black hole formation, derived from black hole X-ray binaries

G. Nelemans, T. M. Tauris, E. P. J. van den Heuvel

Both the recently observed high runaway velocities of Cyg X-1 (~50 km/s) and X-ray Nova Sco 1994 (> ~100 km/s) and the relatively low radial velocities of the black hole X-ray bina…

Formation of millisecond pulsars. I. Evolution of low-mass X-ray binaries with P > 2 days

T. M. Tauris, G. J. Savonije

We have performed detailed numerical calculations of the non-conservative evolution of close binary systems with low-mass (1.0-2.0 M_sun) donor stars and a 1.3 M_sun accreting neut…
