Double-core evolution and the formation of neutron-star binaries with compact companions

J. D. M. Dewi, Ph. Podsiadlowski, A. Sena

We present the results of a systematic exploration of an alternative evolutionary scenario to form double neutron-star binaries, first proposed by Brown (1995), which does not invo…

The spin period - eccentricity relation of double neutron stars: evidence for weak supernova kicks?

J D M Dewi, Ph Podsiadlowski, O R Pols

Double neutron stars (DNSs), binary systems consisting of a radio pulsar and a generally undetected second neutron star (NS), have proven to be excellent laboratories for testing t…

The Double Pulsar J0737--3039: Testing the Neutron Star Equation of State

Ph. Podsiadlowski, J. D. M. Dewi, P. Lesaffre +3

The double pulsar J0737--3039 has become an important astrophysical laboratory for testing fundamental physics. Here we demonstrate that the low measured mass of Pulsar B can be us…

The formation of the double neutron star pulsar J0737--3039

J. D. M. Dewi, E. P. J. van den Heuvel

We find that the orbital period (2.4 hours), eccentricity (0.09), dipole magnetic field strength (6.9 x 10^9 Gauss) and spin period (22 ms) of the new highly relativistic double ne…

The late stages of evolution of helium star-neutron star binaries and the formation of double neutron star systems

J. D. M. Dewi, O. R. Pols

With a view to understanding the formation of double neutron-stars (DNS), we investigate the late stages of evolution of helium stars with masses of 2.8 - 6.4 Msun in binary system…

The evolution of naked helium stars with a neutron-star companion in close binary systems

J. D. M. Dewi, O. R. Pols, G. J. Savonije +1

The evolution of helium stars with masses of 1.5 - 6.7 M_sun in binary systems with a 1.4 M_sun neutron-star companion is presented. Such systems are assumed to be the remnants of…
