Convection in the atmospheres and envelopes of Pre-Main Sequence stars
J. Montalban, F. D'Antona, F. Kupka +1
The Teff location of Pre-Main Sequence (PMS) evolutionary tracks depends on the treatment of over-adiabaticity. Since the convection penetrates into the stellar atmosphere, also th…
The Different Fates of a Low-Mass X-ray Binary. I: Conservative Mass Transfer
G. Lavagetto, L. Burderi, F. D'Antona +3
We study the evolution of a low mass x-ray binary coupling a binary stellar evolution code with a general relativistic code that describes the behavior of the neutron star. We assu…
Efficiency of convection and pre-mainsequence lithium depletion
F. D'Antona, J. Montalban
We show by detailed model computation how much the Pre-Main Sequence (PMS) Lithium depletion depends on the treatment of over-adiabaticity, by taking advantage of the results of ne…
The Optical Counterpart to SAX J1808.4-3658 in Quiescence: Evidence of an Active Radio Pulsar?
L. Burderi, T. Di Salvo, F. D'Antona +2
The optical counterpart of the binary millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 during quiescence was detected at V = 21.5 mag by Homer et al. (2001). This star shows a 6% semi-amp…
