A Unified Solution to the Low-Mass X-ray Binary Diversity Puzzle: Saturated Magnetic Braking Coupled with Irradiation-Driven Winds

Zhu-Ling Deng, Xiang-Dong Li, Bo Wang +4

The standard magnetic braking (MB) model has long failed to explain key properties of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs)---including their accretion rates, the formation of ultracompa…

The Evolution of Cataclysmic Variables Under Various Magnetic Braking Prescriptions

Wen-Shi Tang, Xiang-Dong Li, Zhe Cui +2

Recent studies revealed discrepancies between observations and the predictions of the standard magnetic braking (MB). Although alternative models have been broadly discussed in neu…

Formation of millisecond pulsar-helium star binaries

Zhu-Ling Deng, Xiang-Dong Li, Yong Shao +2

PSR J1928+1815, the first recycled pulsar-helium (He) star binary discovered by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope, consists of a 10.55 ms pulsar and a compa…

A binary origin of ultra-long period radio pulsars

Ying-Han Mao, Xiang-Dong Li, Dong Lai +2

We propose a possible binary evolution model for the formation of ultra-long period pulsars (ULPPs). The model involves two key stages: first, a neutron star (NS) in wide binaries…

Are there Black Hole Symbiotic X-ray Binaries?

Zhu-Ling Deng, Xiang-Dong Li

While there are over a dozen known neutron star (NS) symbiotic X-ray binaries (SyXBs) in the Galaxy, none SyXBs containing a black hole (BH) have been detected. We address this pro…

On the magnetic braking law in black hole low-mass X-ray binaries

Zhuling Deng, Xiangdong Li

Magnetic braking (MB) plays an important role in the evolution of close low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). It is also essential to the formation of ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs…

On the Formation of Double Neutron Stars in the Milky Way: Influence of Key Parameters

Zhu-Ling Deng, Xiang-Dong Li, Yong Shao +1

The detection of gravitational wave events has stimulated theoretical modeling of the formation and evolution of double compact objects (DCOs). However, even for the most studied i…

Evolution of LMXBs under Different Magnetic Braking Prescriptions

Zhu-Ling Deng, Xiang-Dong Li, Zhi-Fu Gao +1

Magnetic braking (MB) likely plays a vital role in the evolution of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). However, it is still uncertain about the physics of MB, and there are various p…

On the formation of PSR J1640+2224: a neutron star born massive?

Zhu-Ling Deng, Zhi-Fu Gao, Xiang-Dong Li +1

PSR J1640+2224 is a binary millisecond pulsar (BMSP) with a white dwarf (WD) companion. Recent observations indicate that the WD is very likely to be a CO WD.…
