Why Low-Mass Black-Hole Binaries Are Transient
Andrew King, Ulrich Kolb, Ewa Szuszkiewicz
We consider transient behavior in low-mass X-ray binaries. In short-period neutron-star systems (orbital period less than ~ 1d) irradiation of the accretion disk by the central sou…

Transients Among Binaries with Evolved Low-Mass Companions
A. R. King, J. Frank, U. Kolb +1
We show that stable disk accretion should be very rare among low-mass X-ray binaries and cataclysmic variables whose evolution is driven by the nuclear expansion of the secondary s…

Mass Transfer Cycles in Close Binaries with Evolved Companions
A. R. King, J. Frank, U. Kolb +1
We give a global analysis of mass transfer variations in low-mass X-ray binaries and cataclysmic variables whose evolution is driven by the nuclear expansion of the secondary star.…
