The Influence of Evaporation on the Formation and Evolution of Huntsman Systems
Hao-Ran Yang, Shi-Jie Gao, Xiang-Dong Li +2
Huntsman systems are a recently identified and rare subclass of millisecond pulsar (MSP) binaries, characterized by a detached neutron star and an evolved giant companion in relati…
Evidence for candidate X-ray pulsations from the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 7456 ULX-1
Yuanle Yao, Xiang-Dong Li, Xiao-Jie Xu
We report evidence for a candidate pulsational signal at ~Hz from NGC7456 ULX-1, a previously identified ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX). The signal is identified in the…
Pulse profile modelling of accreting millisecond pulsars with disc occultation and its impact on parameter inference
Ying-Han Mao, Bas Dorsman, Anna L. Watts +3
Pulse profile modelling is a relativistic ray-tracing technique used to infer neutron star mass, radius, and surface hotspot properties from X-ray pulsations. Pulse profile modelli…
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…
A Rare Population of Intermediate-mass Helium Stars Between Hot Subdwarfs and Wolf-Rayet Stars
Gui-Yu Wang, Yong Shao, Jian-Guo He +3
Helium stars stripped of their hydrogen envelopes represent pivotal phases in binary evolution, yet their origins, particularly within the intermediate-mass range of $2-8\, M_{\odo…
Mechanisms for magnetic braking boost and disruption: the role of irradiation-driven winds and convective turnover time spike in cataclysmic variables
Vladislav Dodon, Xiang-Dong Li, Xiao-jie Xu +2
The saturated, boosted, and disrupted magnetic braking (SBD MB) model is an empirical prescription that has recently gained support from close-binary observations. Different boosti…
