Time-resolved X-Shooter spectra and RXTE light curves of the ultra-compact X-ray binary candidate 4U 0614+091
O. K. Madej, P. G. Jonker, P. J. Groot +3
In this paper we present X-Shooter time resolved spectroscopy and RXTE PCA light curves of the ultra-compact X-ray binary candidate 4U 0614+091. The X-Shooter data are compared to…
A search for the hidden population of AM CVn binaries in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
P. J. Carter, T. R. Marsh, D. Steeghs +7
We present the latest results from a spectroscopic survey designed to uncover the hidden population of AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) binaries in the photometric database of the Slo…
Identification of Galactic Bulge Survey X-ray Sources with Tycho-2 Stars
R. I. Hynes, N. J. Wright, T. J. Maccarone +6
We identify 69 X-ray sources discovered by the Galactic Bulge Survey (GBS) that are coincident with, or very close to bright stars in the Tycho-2 catalog. Additionally, two other G…
Formation of the planet orbiting the millisecond pulsar J1719-1438
L. M. van Haaften, G. Nelemans, R. Voss +1
In 2011, Bailes et al. reported on the discovery of a detached companion in a 131 minute orbit around PSR J1719-1438, a 173 Hz millisecond pulsar. The combination of the very low m…
Supernova Type Ia progenitors from merging double white dwarfs: Using a new population synthesis model
Silvia Toonen, Gijs Nelemans, Simon Portegies Zwart
The study of Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) has lead to greatly improved insights into many fields in astrophysics, however a theoretical explanation of the origin of these events is st…
Prospects for observing ultra-compact binaries with space-based gravitational wave interferometers and optical telescopes
Tyson B. Littenberg, Shane L. Larson, Gijs Nelemans +1
Space-based gravitational wave interferometers are sensitive to the galactic population of ultra-compact binaries. An important subset of the ultra-compact binary population are th…
