The formation of low-mass helium white dwarfs in close binaries
Alina G. Istrate
Recently, a large number of low-mass (<0.30 M_sun) helium white dwarfs (He WDs) have been discovered as a result of several surveys campaigns such as WASP, ELM, Kepler or SDSS. The…

The timescale of low-mass proto-helium white dwarf evolution
Alina Istrate, Thomas Tauris, Norbert Langer +1
A large number of low-mass (< 0.20 M_sun) helium white dwarfs (He WDs) have recently been discovered. The majority of these are orbiting another WD or a millisecond pulsar (MSP) in…

The formation of low-mass helium white dwarfs orbiting pulsars: Evolution of low-mass X-ray binaries below the bifurcation period
Alina Istrate, Thomas Tauris, Norbert Langer
Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are generally believed to be old neutron stars (NSs) which have been spun up to high rotation rates via accretion of matter from a companion star in a lo…
