Population synthesis of classical low-mass X-ray binaries in the Galactic Bulge
L. M. van Haaften, G. Nelemans, R. Voss +2
Aims. We model the present-day population of 'classical' low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) with neutron star accretors, which have hydrogen-rich donor stars. Their population is comp…
Very Massive Stars in the Local Universe
Jorick S. Vink
Recent studies suggest the existence of very massive stars (VMS) up to 300 solar masses in the local Universe. As this finding may represent a paradigm shift for the canonical stel…
The influence of mass-transfer variability on the growth of white dwarfs, and the implications for supernova type Ia rates
Silvia Toonen, Rasmus Voss, Christian Knigge
White dwarfs (WDs) can increase their mass by accretion from companion stars, provided the mass-accretion rate is high enough to avoid nova eruptions. The accretion regimes that al…
On double-degenerate type Ia supernova progenitors as supersoft X-ray sources - A population synthesis analysis using SeBa
Mikkel T. B. Nielsen, Gijs Nelemans, Rasmus Voss +1
Context: The nature of the progenitors of type Ia supernova (SN) progenitors remains unclear. While it is usually agreed that single-degenerate progenitor systems would be luminous…
Upper limits on bolometric luminosities of three type Ia supernova progenitors - New results in the ongoing Chandra archival search for type Ia supernova progenitors
M. T. B. Nielsen, R. Voss, G. Nelemans
We present analysis of Chandra archival, pre-explosion data of the positions of three nearby (< 25 Mpc) type Ia supernovae, SN2011iv, SN2012cu & SN2012fr. No sources corresponding…
Population synthesis of ultracompact X-ray binaries in the Galactic Bulge
L. M. van Haaften, G. Nelemans, R. Voss +4
[abridged] Aims. We model the number and properties of ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) in the Galactic Bulge. The objective is to learn about the formation of UCXBs and their e…
