Mass transfer in eccentric binaries: the new Oil-on-Water SPH technique
Ross P. Church, Johann Dischler, Melvyn B. Davies +3
To measure the onset of mass transfer in eccentric binaries we have developed a two-phase SPH technique. Mass transfer is important in the evolution of close binaries, and a key is…
The light curve of the companion to PSR B1957+20
Mark Reynolds, Paul Callanan, Andrew Fruchter +3
We present a new analysis of the light curve for the secondary star in the eclipsing binary millisecond pulsar system PSR B1957+20. Combining previous data and new data points at m…
An alternative to common envelope evolution
Martin E. Beer, Lynnette M. Dray, Andrew R. King +1
We investigate the evolution of interacting binaries where the donor star is a low-mass giant more massive than its companion. It is usual to assume that such systems undergo commo…
Wolf-Rayet and O Star Runaway Populations from Supernovae
L. M. Dray, J. E. Dale, M. E. Beer +2
We present numerical simulations of the runaway fractions expected amongst O and Wolf-Rayet star populations resulting from stars ejected from binaries by the supernova of the comp…
The population of black widow pulsars
A. R. King, M. E. Beer, D. J. Rolfe +2
We consider the population of black widow pulsars (BWPs). The large majority of these are members of globular clusters. For minimum companion masses < 0.1 Msun, adiabatic evolution…
The planet in M4: implications for planet formation in globular clusters
M. E. Beer, A. R. King, J. E. Pringle
We consider the formation and evolution of the planetary system PSR B1620-26 in the globular cluster M4. We propose that as M4 is a very-low metallicity environment the standard mo…
