Circinus X-1: survivor of a highly asymmetric supernova
T. M. Tauris, R. P. Fender, E. P. J. van den Heuvel +2
We have analyzed the kinematical parameters of Cir X-1 to constrain the nature of its companion star, the eccentricity of the binary and the pre-supernova parameter space. We argue…
Is SAX J1808.4-3658 a Strange Star ?
X. -D. Li, I. Bombaci, Mira Dey +2
One of the most important questions in the study of compact objects is the nature of pulsars, including whether they are composed of -stable nuclear matter or strange quark matt…
The origin of single radio pulsars
Simon Portegies Zwart, Edward van den Heuvel
By comparing relative rates of supernovae versus formation rates of single radio pulsars, recycled pulsars, binary pulsars and X-ray binaries we put strong limits on the progenitor…
Could 2S 0114+650 be a magnetar?
X. -D. Li, E. P. J. van den Heuvel
We investigate the spin evolution of the binary X-ray pulsar 2S 0114+650, which possesses the slowest known spin period of hours. We argue that, to interpret such long s…
