Towards Synchronism Through Dynamic Tides in J0651: the "Antiresonance" Locking
Francesca Valsecchi, Will. M. Farr, Bart Willems +1
In recent years, the Extremely Low Mass White Dwarf (ELM WD) survey has quintupled the number of known close, detached double WD binaries (DWD). The tightest such DWD, SDSS J065133…
Constraining White Dwarf Masses Via Apsidal Precession in Eccentric Double White Dwarf Binaries
Francesca Valsecchi, Will M. Farr, Bart Willems +1
Galactic short period double white dwarfs (DWD) are guaranteed gravitational wave (GW) sources for the next generation of space-based interferometers sensitive to low-frequency GWs…
Tidally-Induced Apsidal Precession in Double White Dwarfs: a new mass measurement tool with LISA
Francesca Valsecchi, Will M. Farr, Bart Willems +2
Galactic interacting double white dwarfs (DWD) are guaranteed gravitational wave (GW) sources for the GW detector LISA, with more than 10^4 binaries expected to be detected over th…
Formation of the black-hole binary M33 X-7 via mass-exchange in a tight massive system
Francesca Valsecchi, Evert Glebbeek, Will M. Farr +5
M33 X-7 is among the most massive X-Ray binary stellar systems known, hosting a rapidly spinning 15.65 Msun black hole orbiting an underluminous 70 Msun Main Sequence companion in…
The intriguing evolutionary history of the massive black hole X-ray binary M33 X-7
Francesca Valsecchi, Evert Glebbeek, Will M. Farr +5
Black hole (BH) X-ray binaries (XRBs) are X-ray luminous binary systems comprising a BH accreting matter from a companion star. Understanding their origins sheds light on the still…
Angular Momentum Changes Due to Direct Impact Accretion in a Simplified Binary System
Jeremy F. Sepinsky, Bart Willems, Vassiliki Kalogera +1
We model a circular mass-transferring binary system to calculate the exchange of angular momentum between stellar spins and the orbit due to direct impact of the mass transfer stre…
