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…
