LMXB and IMXB Evolution: I. The Binary Radio Pulsar PSR J1614-2230
Jinrong Lin, S. Rappaport, Ph. Podsiadlowski +3
We have computed an extensive grid of binary evolution tracks to represent low- and intermediate mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs and IMXBs). The grid includes 42,000 models which covers…
On the alpha formalism for the common envelope interaction
Orsola De Marco, Jean-Claude Passy, Maxwell Moe +3
The α-formalism is a common way to parametrize the common envelope interaction between a giant star and a more compact companion. The α parameter describes the fraction of orbital…
Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA)
Bill Paxton, Lars Bildsten, Aaron Dotter +3
Stellar physics and evolution calculations enable a broad range of research in astrophysics. Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA) is a suite of open source librar…
