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…
