On the spin-up of neutron stars to millisecond pulsars in long-period binaries
H. Ritter, A. King
We study the accretion efficiency of neutron stars in long-period binaries, i.e. with periods longer than about 200d, which accrete from a giant companion. Using alpha-disc models…

A limit-cycle model for the binary supersoft X-ray source RX J0513.9-6951
K. Reinsch, A. van Teeseling, A. R. King +1
We present new results of our X-ray monitoring of the transient binary supersoft X-ray source RX J0513.9-6951 in the LMC and of our re-analysis of optical light curves obtained dur…
