Mass transfer and the period decrease in RXJ0806.3+1527
B. Willems, V. Kalogera
We examine the nature of RXJ0806.3+1527 and show that it is possible to reconcile the observed period decrease and X-ray luminosity with the transfer of mass between two white dwar…
The Galactic Formation Rate of Eccentric Neutron Star-White Dwarf Binaries
Vassiliki Kalogera, Chunglee Kim, Duncan R. Lorimer +2
In this paper we consider the population of eccentric binaries with a neutron star and a white dwarf that has been revealed in our galaxy in recent years through binary pulsar obse…
The Highly Relativistic Binary Pulsar PSR J0737-3039A: Discovery and Implications
M. Burgay, N. D'Amico, A. Possenti +10
PSR J0737-3039A is a millisecond pulsar with a spin period of 22.7 ms included in a double-neutron star system with an orbital period of 2.4 hrs. Its companion has also been detect…
The Galactic Double-Neutron-Star Merger Rate: Most Current Estimates
Chunglee Kim, Vassiliki Kalogera, Duncan R. Lorimer +2
We summarize our results on the Galactic merger rate of double neutron stars (DNS) in view of the recent discovery of PSR J0737-3039. We also present previously unpublished results…
The Formation of the Most Relativistic Pulsar PSR J0737-3039
B. Willems, V. Kalogera, M. Henninger
We present an updated set of constraints for the progenitor of PSR J0737-3039 and for the natal kicks imparted to pulsar B taking into account both the evolutionary and kinematic h…
First results from a Chandra survey of the 'Bar' region of the SMC
A. Zezas, J. C. McDowell, D. Hadzidimitriou +3
We present the first results from a Chandra survey of the central region of the Small Magellanic Cloud. We detect a total of 122 sources down to a limiting luminosity of ~4.3x10^{3…
