Type Ia supernovae in globular clusters: observational upper limits

R. Voss, G. Nelemans

In the dense stellar environment of the globular clusters, compact binaries are produced dynamically. Therefore the fraction of type Ia supernovae that explode in globular clusters…

The evolution of ultracompact X-ray binaries

L. M. van Haaften, G. Nelemans, R. Voss +2

Context. Ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) typically consist of a white dwarf donor and a neutron star or black hole accretor. The evolution of UCXBs and very low mass ratio bina…

On the association of ULXs with young superclusters: M82 X-1 and a new candidate in NGC 7479

R. Voss, M. T. B. Nielsen, G. Nelemans +2

We investigate the spatial coincidence of ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) with young massive stellar clusters. In particular we perform astrometry on Chandra and HST data of tw…

Upper limits on bolometric luminosities of ten type Ia supernova progenitors from Chandra observations

Mikkel T. B. Nielsen, Rasmus Voss, Gijs Nelemans

We present an analysis of Chandra observations of the position of ten nearby (< 25 Mpc) type Ia supernovae, taken before the explosions. No sources corresponding to progenitors wer…

Luminosity functions of LMXBs in different stellar environments

Zhongli Zhang, Marat Gilfanov, Rasmus Voss +6

Based on the archival data from the Chandra observations of nearby galaxies, we study different sub populations of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) - dynamically formed systems in g…

Binary Evolution Constraints from Luminosity Functions of LMXBs

R. Voss

The formation and evolution of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is not well understood. The properties of a population of LMXBs depend on a number of uncertain aspects of binary evo…
