On the Rarity of X-Ray Binaries with Naked Helium Donors
T. Linden, F. Valsecchi, V. Kalogera
The paucity of known High-Mass X-Ray Binaries (HMXB) with naked He donor stars (hereafter He star) in the Galaxy has been noted over the years as a surprising fact, given the signi…
Constraining White Dwarf Masses Via Apsidal Precession in Eccentric Double White Dwarf Binaries
Francesca Valsecchi, Will M. Farr, Bart Willems +1
Galactic short period double white dwarfs (DWD) are guaranteed gravitational wave (GW) sources for the next generation of space-based interferometers sensitive to low-frequency GWs…
Understanding Compact Object Formation and Natal Kicks. III. The case of Cygnus X-1
Tsing-Wai Wong, Francesca Valsecchi, Tassos Fragos +1
In recent years, accurate observational constraints become available for an increasing number of Galactic X-ray binaries. Together with proper motion measurements, we could reconst…
Tidally-Induced Apsidal Precession in Double White Dwarfs: a new mass measurement tool with LISA
Francesca Valsecchi, Will M. Farr, Bart Willems +2
Galactic interacting double white dwarfs (DWD) are guaranteed gravitational wave (GW) sources for the GW detector LISA, with more than 10^4 binaries expected to be detected over th…
