PSR J1641+3627F: a low-mass He white dwarf orbiting a possible high-mass neutron star in the globular cluster M13
Mario Cadelano, Jianxing Chen, Cristina Pallanca +5
We report on the discovery of the companion star to the millisecond pulsar J1631+3627F in the globular cluster M13. By means of a combination of optical and near-UV high-resolution…
A revisit of PSR J19093744 with 15-year high-precision timing
K. Liu, L. Guillemot, A. G. Istrate +10
We report on a high-precision timing analysis and an astrophysical study of the binary millisecond pulsar, PSR J19093744, motivated by the accumulation of data with well improve…
It has to be cool: on supergiant progenitors of binary black hole mergers from common-envelope evolution
J. Klencki, G. Nelemans, A. G. Istrate +1
Common-envelope (CE) evolution in massive binary systems is thought to be one of the most promising channels for the formation of compact binary mergers. In the case of merging bin…
Massive donors in interacting binaries: effect of metallicity
Jakub Klencki, Gijs Nelemans, Alina G. Istrate +1
Metallicity is known to significantly affect the radial expansion of a massive star: the lower the metallicity, the more compact the star, especially during its post-MS evolution.…
PSR J1012+5307: a millisecond pulsar with an extremely low-mass white dwarf companion
D. Mata Sánchez, A. G. Istrate, M. H. van Kerkwijk +2
Binaries harbouring millisecond pulsars enable a unique path to determine neutron star masses: radio pulsations reveal the motion of the neutron star, while that of the companion c…
A pulsating white dwarf in an eclipsing binary
Steven G. Parsons, Alexander J. Brown, Stuart P. Littlefair +8
White dwarfs are the burnt out cores of Sun-like stars and are the final fate of 97% of all stars in our Galaxy. The internal structure and composition of white dwarfs are hidden b…
