We present the first deep radio continuum observations of Pa 30, a nebula hosting a unique optical source driven by an ultrafast outflow with a velocity of 16,000 km s. The…
A pulsar-helium star compact binary system formed by common envelope evolution
Z. L. Yang, J. L. Han, D. J. Zhou +33
A stellar common envelope occurs in a binary system when the atmosphere of an evolving star expands to encompass an orbiting companion object. Such systems are predicted to evolve…

Orbital-period Changes of Low-mass X-ray Binaries Driven by Magnetic Braking
Yun-Ning Fan, Yong Shao, Wen-Cong Chen
The magnetic braking (MB) plays an important role in driving the evolution of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). The modified MB prescription, convection and rotation boosted (CARB)…
IC 10 X-1: A Double Black Hole Progenitor Probably Formed through Stable Mass Transfer
Gui-Yu Wang, Yong Shao, Jian-Guo He +2
IC 10 X-1 is one of close X-ray binaries containing a Wolf-Rayet donor, which can provide an evolutionary link between high-mass X-ray binaries and gravitational wave sources. It i…
The Heavier the Faster: A Sub-population of Heavy, Rapidly Spinning and Quickly Evolving Binary Black Holes
Wei-Hua Guo, Yin-Jie Li, Yuan-Zhu Wang +4
The spins of binary black holes (BBHs) measured from gravitational waves carry notable information of the formation pathways. Here we propose a quantity "dimensionless net spin" ($…
Constraining Mass Transfer Models with Galactic Neutron StarWhite Dwarf Binaries as Gravitational Wave Sources
Jian-Guo He, Yong Shao, Xiao-Jie Xu +1
Neutron starwhite dwarf (NSWD) binaries are one of the most abundant sources of gravitational waves (GW) in the Milky Way. These GW sources are the evolutionary products of prim…
