The Maximum Mass of a Neutron Star
Vassiliki Kalogera, Gordon Baym
Observational identification of black holes as members of binary systems requires the knowledge of the upper limit on the gravitational mass of a neutron star. We use modern equati…

Formation of Low-Mass X-ray Binaries. III. A New Formation Mechanism: Direct Supernova
Vassiliki Kalogera
We propose a new formation mechanism (direct-supernova) for low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) that does not involve any prior phase of mass transfer. Survival through the supernova (…

Orbital Characteristics of Binary Systems after Asymmetric Supernova Explosions
Vassiliki Kalogera
We present an analytical method for studying the changes of the orbital characteristics of binary systems with circular orbits due to a kick velocity imparted to the newborn neutro…
