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…
Gravitational waves from compact binaries
Marc van der Sluys
In this review, I give a summary of the history of our understanding of gravitational waves and how compact binaries were used to transform their status from mathematical artefact…
The astrophysics of ultra-compact binaries
G. Nelemans, M. Wood, P. Groot +24
This white paper briefly describes the astrophysics of ultra-compact binaries, with emphasis of the challenges and opportunities in the next decade.
Modelling the formation of double white dwarfs
M. V. van der Sluys, F. Verbunt, O. R. Pols
We investigate the formation of the ten double-lined double white dwarfs that have been observed so far. A detailed stellar evolution code is used to calculate grids of single-star…
On the possibility of a helium white dwarf donor in the presumed ultracompact binary 2S 0918-549
J. J. M. in 't Zand, A. Cumming, M. V. van der Sluys +2
2S 0918-549 is a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) with a low optical to X-ray flux ratio. Probably it is an ultracompact binary with an orbital period shorter than 60 min. Such binarie…
Reduced magnetic braking and the magnetic capture model for the formation of ultra-compact binaries
M. V. van der Sluys, F. Verbunt, O. R. Pols
A binary in which a slightly evolved star starts mass transfer to a neutron star can evolve towards ultra-short orbital periods under the influence of magnetic braking. This is cal…
