Ultra-compact X-ray Binaries: A Review
Bo Wang, Dongdong Liu, Yunlang Guo +3
Ultra-compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) are a subclass of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) characterized by ultra-short orbital periods, typically less than min. They consist…
Does Nature allow formation of ultra-compact black hole X-ray binaries via accretion-induced collapse of neutron stars?
Hai-Liang Chen, Thomas M. Tauris, Xuefei Chen +1
The formation path to ultra-compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) with black hole (BH) accretors is still unclear. In the classical formation scenario, it is difficult to eject the massiv…
The maximum accreted mass of recycled pulsars
Zhenwei Li, Xuefei Chen, Hai-Liang Chen +1
The maximum mass of neutron stars (NSs) is of great importance for constraining equations of state of NSs and understanding the mass gap between NSs and stellar-mass black holes. N…
Ultra-compact X-ray binaries with He star companions
Bo Wang, Wencong Chen, Dongdong Liu +5
Ultra-compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) are low-mass X-ray binaries with hydrogen-deficient mass-donors and ultra-short orbital periods. They have been suggested to be the potential L…
Formation of Double Neutron Star Systems
T. M. Tauris, M. Kramer, P. C. C. Freire +11
Double neutron star (DNS) systems represent extreme physical objects and the endpoint of an exotic journey of stellar evolution and binary interactions. Large numbers of DNS system…
