Mass Transfer between Double White Dwarfs
T. R. Marsh, G. Nelemans, D. Steeghs
Three periodically variable stars have recently been discovered (V407 Vul, P=9.5 min; ES Cet, P=10.3 min; RX J0806.3+1527, P=5.3 min) with properties that suggest that their photom…
Short-period AM CVn systems as optical, X-ray and gravitational wave sources
G. Nelemans, L. R. Yungelson, S. F. Portegies Zwart
We model the population of AM CVn systems in the Galaxy and discuss the detectability of these systems with optical, X-ray and gravitational wave detectors. We concentrate on the s…
Optical spectra of the carbon-oxygen accretion discs in the ultra-compact X-ray binaries 4U 0614+09, 4U 1543-624 and 2S 0918-549
G. Nelemans, P. G. Jonker, T. R. Marsh +1
We present optical spectra in the range 4600 -- 8600 A for three low-mass X-ray binaries which have been suggested to belong to the class of ultra-compact X-ray binaries based on t…
Galactic Binaries as Sources of Gravitational Waves
G. Nelemans
I review the expected Galactic sources of gravitational waves, concentrating on the low-frequency domain and summarise the current observational and theoretical knowledge we have.…
A search for the optical and near-infrared counterpart of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar XTE J1751-305
P. G. Jonker, G. Nelemans, Z. Wang +14
We have obtained optical and near-infrared images of the field of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar XTE J1751-305. There are no stars in the 0.7'' error circle (0.7'' is the o…
Chandra observations of the neutron star soft X-ray transient RXJ170930.2-263927 returning to quiescence
P. G. Jonker, M. Mendez, G. Nelemans +2
We present our analysis of Chandra observations obtained when the soft X-ray transient RX J170930.2-263927 (XTE J1709-267) returned to quiescence after an outburst. Using the type…
