Large offsets of double-neutron-star mergers: degeneracies and implications for host associations
Xiao-Tian Xu, Bin-Bin Zhang, Wenjie Wu +1
The projected offset of a Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) from its host galaxy is an important diagnostic of its physical origin, where the host associations are usually evaluated through ch…
Evolution of wide O star binaries through their LBV stage. Population synthesis with mass-ejection-driven orbital evolution
Xiao-Tian Xu, Philipp Podsiadlowski, Norbert Langer +6
Context. Long-period Wolf-Rayet (WR) star binaries produced by mass transfer are predicted to be abundant, but are observationally rare. This yields constraints on the evolution of…
Thermal-timescale accretion does not always yield critical rotation in mass gainers
Chen Wang, Mike Y. M. Lau, Xiang-Dong Li +7
Binary evolution plays a central role in producing rapidly rotating stars. Previous studies have shown that mass gainers in binaries can reach critical rotation after accreting onl…
The formation of merging black holes via stable mass transfer in massive binary stars
Xiao-Tian Xu, Norbert Langer, Jakub Klencki +2
The vast majority of massive binary systems in the universe is evidently unsuited to produce merging binary black holes. However, several narrow evolutionary paths of isolated mass…
A statistical study of type II outbursts of XRPs: Brighter accreting pulsars rotate faster
Shan-Shan Weng, Xiao-Tian Xu, Han-Long Peng +6
X-ray pulsars (XRPs) consist of a magnetized neutron star (NS) and an optical donor star. The NS accretes matter from the donor star producing pulsed X-ray emission. In most cases…
On the Bimodal Spin Period Distribution of Be/X-ray Pulsars
Xiao-Tian Xu, Xiang-Dong Li
It has been reported that there are two populations of Be/X-ray pulsars, with the pulse period distribution peaked at 10 s and 200 s, respectively. A possible explana…
Are There Pre-Main-Sequence/Black Hole X-ray Binaries?
Xiao-Tian Xu, Xiang-Dong Li
A large fraction of black hole low-mass X-ray binaries (BHLMXBs) are in short period orbits, which require strong orbital angular momentum loss during the previous evolutionary sta…
A Circumbinary Disk Model for the Rapid Orbital Shrinkage in Black Hole Low-Mass X-ray Binaries
Xiao-Tian Xu, Xiang-Dong Li
Several black hole low-mass X-ray binaries (BHLMXBs) show very fast orbital shrinkage, which is difficult to understand in the standard picture of the LMXB evolution. Based on the…
