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…
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…
Very Massive Stars (VMS) in the Local Universe
Jorick S. Vink, Alexander Heger, Mark R. Krumholz +25
Recent studies have claimed 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…
Late-time evolution of ultracompact X-ray binaries
L. M. van Haaften, G. Nelemans, R. Voss
Ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) have orbital periods shorter than about 80 minutes and typically consist of a neutron star that accretes hydrogen-poor matter from a white dwarf…
Formation of the planet orbiting the millisecond pulsar J1719-1438
L. M. van Haaften, G. Nelemans, R. Voss +1
In 2011, Bailes et al. reported on the discovery of a detached companion in a 131 minute orbit around PSR J1719-1438, a 173 Hz millisecond pulsar. The combination of the very low m…
