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…
Creating ultra-compact binaries through stable mass transfer
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…
Creating ultra-compact binaries in globular clusters through stable mass transfer
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…
The dynamics of the nebula M1-67 around the run-away Wolf-Rayet star WR 124
M. V. van der Sluys, H. J. G. L. M. Lamers
A new point of view on the dynamics of the circumstellar nebula M1-67 around the run-away Wolf-Rayet (WR) star WR 124 is presented. We found that it has been interacting with the s…
