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…
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…
The population of close double white dwarfs in the Galaxy
Lev Yungelson, Gijs Nelemans, Simon. F. Portegies Zwart +1
We present a new model for the Galactic population of close double white dwarfs. The model accounts for the suggestion of the avoidance of a substantial spiral-in during mass trans…
