A Chandra Survey of Milky Way Globular Clusters -- IV. Periodic X-ray sources
Tong Bao, Zhiyuan Li, Zhongqun Cheng +1
We present a systematic search for periodic X-ray sources in 10 Galactic globular clusters (GCs) utilizing deep archival Chandra observations. By applying the Gregory-Loredo algori…
Evidence for saturated and disrupted magnetic braking from samples of detached close binaries with M and K dwarfs
Diogo Belloni, Matthias R. Schreiber, Maxwell Moe +2
Context. Recent observations of close detached eclipsing M and K dwarf binaries have provided substantial support for magnetic saturation when stars rotate sufficiently fast, leadi…
Period bouncers as detached magnetic cataclysmic variables
Matthias R. Schreiber, Diogo Belloni, Jan van Roestel
The general prediction that more than half of all CVs have evolved past the period minimum is in strong disagreement with observational surveys, which show that the relative number…
Reversing the verdict: Cataclysmic variables could be the dominant progenitors of AM CVn binaries after all
Diogo Belloni, Matthias R. Schreiber
Context. AM CVn binaries are potential progenitors of thermonuclear supernovae and strong sources of persistent gravitational wave radiation. For a long time, it has been believed…
A candidate magnetic helium core white dwarf in the globular cluster NGC 6397
Manuel Pichardo Marcano, Liliana E. Rivera Sandoval, Thomas J. Maccarone +5
We report a peculiar variable blue star in the globular cluster NGC 6397, using Hubble Space Telescope optical imaging. Its position in the colour-magnitude diagrams, and its spect…
Formation and Evolution of Accreting Compact Objects
Diogo Belloni, Matthias R. Schreiber
Accreting compact objects are crucial to understand several important astrophysical phenomena such as Type Ia supernovae, gravitational waves, or X-ray and -ray bursts. In addit…
