Properties of binary systems in a one-dimensional approximation

Ali Pourmand, Natalia Ivanova

Evolutionary calculations for stars in close binary systems are in high demand to obtain better constraints on gravitational wave source progenitors, understand transient events fr…

Low Mass X-ray Binary Simulation Data Release

Chatrik Singh Mangat, Natalia Ivanova, Kenny Van

We present DABS (Database of Accreting Binary Simulations), an open-access database of modelled Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs). DABS has been created using evolutionary tracks of…

Constraining Progenitors of Observed LMXBs Using CARB Magnetic Braking

Kenny X. Van, Natalia Ivanova

We present a new method for constraining the mass transfer evolution of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) - a reverse population synthesis technique. This is done using the detailed…

Simulating a stellar contact binary merger -- I. Stellar models

Roger W. M. Hatfull, Natalia Ivanova, James C. Lombardi

We study the initial conditions of a common envelope (CE) event resulting in a stellar merger. A merger's dynamics could be understood through its light curve, but no synthetic lig…

The impact of common envelope development criteria on the formation of LIGO/Virgo sources

Aleksandra Olejak, Krzysztof Belczynski, Natalia Ivanova

The treatment and criteria for development of unstable Roche lobe overflow (RLOF) that leads to the common envelope (CE) phase have hindered the evolutionary predictions for decade…

The X-ray Emissivity of Low-Density Stellar Populations

C. O. Heinke, M. G. Ivanov, E. W. Koch +17

The dynamical production of low-mass X-ray binaries and brighter cataclysmic variables (CVs) in dense globular clusters is well-established. We investigate how the X-ray emissivity…
