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…
Dynamic Tides and the Evolution of Stars in Close Binaries
B. Willems, A. Claret
In this talk, we review some recent advances in the theory of dynamic tides in close binaries. We particularly focus on the effects of resonances of dynamic tides with free oscilla…
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…
The orbital period distribution of wide binary millisecond pulsars
B. Willems, U. Kolb
We present results of a binary population synthesis study on the orbital period distribution of wide binary millisecond pulsars forming through four evolutionary channels. In three…
