On the Neutron Star/Black Hole Mass Gap and Black Hole Searches
Yong Shao
Mass distribution of black holes in low-mass X-ray binaries previously suggested the existence of a mass gap between the most massive neutron stars and the le…
A long-period pre-ELM system discovered from LAMOST medium-resolution survey
Zhi-Xiang Zhang, Ling-Lin Zheng, Wei-Min Gu +16
We present LAMOST~J041920.07+072545.4 (hereafter J0419), a close binary consisting of a bloated extremely low mass pre-white dwarf (pre-ELM WD) and a compact object with an orbital…
A dynamically discovered and characterized non-accreting neutron star -- M dwarf binary candidate
Tuan Yi, Wei-Min Gu, Zhi-Xiang Zhang +26
Optical time-domain surveys can unveil and characterize exciting but less-explored non-accreting and/or non-beaming neutron stars (NS) in binaries. Here we report the discovery of…
Stable mass transfer can explain massive binary black hole mergers with a high spin component
Yong Shao, Xiang-Dong Li
Recent gravitational wave observations showed that binary black hole (BBH) mergers with massive components are more likely to have high effective spins. In the model of isolated bi…
Periodic Activities of Repeating Fast Radio Bursts from Be/X-ray Binary Systems
Qiao-Chu Li, Yuan-Pei Yang, F. Y. Wang +4
The frequency-dependent periodic active window of the fast radio burst FRB 180916.J0158+65 (FRB 180916B) was observed recently. In this Letter, we propose that a Be/X-ray binary (B…
Population Synthesis of Black Hole Binaries with Compact Star Companions
Yong Shao, Xiang-Dong Li
We perform a systematic study of merging black hole (BH) binaries with compact star (CS) companions, including black hole--white dwarf (BH--WD), black hole--neutron star (BH--NS) a…
