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…

The evolution of black-hole mass and angular momentum
A. R. King, U. Kolb
We show that neither accretion nor angular momentum extraction are likely to lead to significant changes in the mass M_1 or angular momentum parameter a_* of a black hole in a bina…

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…
