Understanding Compact Object Formation and Natal Kicks: II. The case of XTE J1118+480

T. Fragos, B. Willems, V. Kalogera +4

In recent years, an increasing number of proper motions have been measured for Galactic X-ray binaries. When supplemented with accurate determinations of the component masses, orbi…

Neutron Stars in Globular Clusters

Natalia Ivanova, Craig O. Heinke, Frederic A. Rasio

Dynamical interactions that occur between objects in dense stellar systems are particularly important for the question of formation of X-ray binaries. We present results of numeric…

Formation of Millisecond Pulsars in Globular Clusters

Natalia Ivanova, Craig O. Heinke, Frederic A. Rasio

In this contribution we discuss how neutron stars are produced and retained in globular clusters, outlining the most important dynamical channels and evolutionary events that affec…

The Total Merger Rate of Compact Object Binaries In The Local Universe

Aleksander Sadowski, Krzysztof Belczynski, Tomasz Bulik +3

Using a population synthesis approach, we compute the total merger rate in the local Universe for double neutron stars, double black holes, and black hole -- neutron star binaries.…

Formation and evolution of compact binaries in globular clusters: II. Binaries with neutron stars

N. Ivanova, C. Heinke, F. A. Rasio +2

In this paper, the second of a series, we study the stellar dynamical and evolutionary processes leading to the formation of compact binaries containing neutron stars (NSs) in dens…

Eccentric double white dwarfs as LISA sources in globular clusters

B. Willems, V. Kalogera, A. Vecchio +4

We consider the formation of double white dwarfs (DWDs) through dynamical interactions in globular clusters. Such interactions can give rise to eccentric DWDs, in contrast to the e…
