Formation of the binary pulsars J1141-6545 and B2023+46
Melvyn B. Davies, Hans Ritter, Andrew King
The binaries PSR J1141-6545 and PSR B2303+46 each appear to contain a white dwarf which formed before the neutron star. We describe an evolutionary pathway to produce these two sys…
Gamma-ray bursts, supernova kicks, and gravitational radiation
Melvyn B. Davies, Andrew King, Stephan Rosswog +1
We suggest that the collapsing core of a massive rotating star may fragment to produce two or more compact objects. Their coalescence under gravitational radiation gives the result…
Brown dwarf populations in open clusters
Tim Adams, Melvyn B. Davies, Richard F. Jameson +1
We present the results of multiple simulations of open clusters, modelling the dynamics of a population of brown dwarf members. We consider the effects of a large range of primordi…
