Chandra Observations of the Collisional Ring Galaxy NGC 922
A. H. Prestwich, J. L. Galache. T. Linden, V. Kalogara +5
In this paper we report on Chandra observations of the starburst galaxy NGC 922. NGC 922 is a drop-through ring galaxy with an expanding ring of star formation, similar in many res…
Interacting Binaries with Eccentric Orbits II. Secular Orbital Evolution Due To Non-Conservative Mass Transfer
J. F. Sepinsky, B. Willems, V. Kalogera +1
We investigate the secular evolution of the orbital semi-major axis and eccentricity due to mass transfer in eccentric binaries, allowing for both mass and angular momentum loss fr…
Polar kicks and the spin period - eccentricity relation in double neutron stars
B. Willems, J. Andrews, V. Kalogera +1
We present results of a population synthesis study aimed at examining the role of spin-kick alignment in producing a correlation between the spin period of the first-born neutron s…
Interacting Binaries with Eccentric Orbits. Secular Orbital Evolution Due To Conservative Mass Transfer
J. F. Sepinsky, B. Willems, V. Kalogera +1
We investigate the secular evolution of the orbital semi-major axis and eccentricity due to mass transfer in eccentric binaries, assuming conservation of total system mass and orbi…
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 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…
