Properties of the Galactic population of cataclysmic variables in hard X-rays
M. Revnivtsev, S. Sazonov, R. Krivonos +2
We measure the spatial distribution and hard X-ray luminosity function of cataclysmic variables (CVs) using the INTEGRAL all-sky survey in the 17-60 keV energy band. The vast major…
Numerical stability of mass transfer driven by Roche lobe overflow in close binaries
A. Buening, H. Ritter
Numerical computation of the time evolution of the mass transfer rate in a close binary can be and, in particular, has been a computational challenge. Using a simple physical model…
A source of high-velocity white dwarfs
M. B. Davies, A. R. King, H. Ritter
We investigate whether the recently-observed population of high-velocity white dwarfs can be derived from a population of binaries residing initially within the thin disk of the Ga…
The violent past of Cygnus X-2
Ulrich Kolb, Melvyn Davies, Andrew King +1
Cygnus X-2 appears to be the descendant of an intermediate-mass X-ray binary (IMXB). Using Mazzitelli's (1989) stellar code we compute detailed evolutionary sequences for the syste…
Analytical solution for the evolution of a binary with stable mass transfer from a giant
H. Ritter
We derive a simple analytical solution for the evolution of a close binary with nuclear time-scale driven mass transfer from a giant. This solution is based on the well-known fact…
Cygnus X-2, super-Eddington mass transfer, and pulsar binaries
A. R. King, H. Ritter
We consider the unusual evolutionary state of the secondary star in Cygnus X-2. Spectroscopic data give a low mass ($M_2 \simeq 0.5 - 0.7\msun$) and yet a large radius ($R_2 \simeq…
Transients Among Binaries with Evolved Low-Mass Companions
A. R. King, J. Frank, U. Kolb +1
We show that stable disk accretion should be very rare among low-mass X-ray binaries and cataclysmic variables whose evolution is driven by the nuclear expansion of the secondary s…
Mass Transfer Cycles in Close Binaries with Evolved Companions
A. R. King, J. Frank, U. Kolb +1
We give a global analysis of mass transfer variations in low-mass X-ray binaries and cataclysmic variables whose evolution is driven by the nuclear expansion of the secondary star.…
Illumination in binaries
J. -M. Hameury, H. Ritter
We give a simple, but accurate method that can be used to account for illumination in compact binary systems which have a low-mass companion, even if spherically symmetric illumina…
