Eclipsing binaries in extrasolar planet transit surveys: the case of SuperWASP
B. Willems, U. Kolb, S. Justham
Using a comprehensive binary population synthesis scheme, we investigate the statistical properties of a sample of eclipsing binaries that is detectable by an idealised extrasolar…
A Potential Supernova Remnant/X-ray Binary Association in M31
Benjamin F. Williams, Robin Barnard, Michael R. Garcia +3
The well-studied X-ray/Optical/Radio supernova remnant DDB 1-15 (CXOM31 J004327.8+411829; r3-63) in M31 has been investigated with archival XMM-Newton and Chandra observations. The…
Detached white dwarf main-sequence star binaries
B. Willems, U. Kolb
We considered the formation of detached white dwarf main-sequence star (WDMS) binaries through seven evolutionary channels subdivided according to the evolutionary process that giv…
On the detection of pre-low-mass X-ray binaries
B. Willems, U. Kolb
We explore the population of candidate pre-low-mass X-ray binaries in which a neutron star accretes mass from the wind of a low-mass companion (mass < 2Msun) in the framework of a…
Population synthesis of wide binary millisecond pulsars
B. Willems, U. Kolb
Four evolutionary channels leading to the formation of wide binary millisecond pulsars are investigated. The majority of binary millisecond pulsars are found to descend from system…
Mass estimates in short-period compact binaries
U. Kolb, A. R. King, I. Baraffe
Using stellar models we investigate the relation between mass and the spectral type of the secondary star in low-mass short-period compact binaries such as cataclysmic variables an…
