Evidence from high mass X-ray binaries that Galactic WR components of WR+O binaries end their life with a supernova explosion
D. Vanbeveren, N. Mennekens, E. P. J. van den Heuvel +1
Theoretical population number studies of binaries with at least one black hole (BH) component are obviously depending on whether or not BHs receive a (natal) kick during their form…
Binary neutron star formation and the origin of GW170817
K. Belczynski, T. Bulik, A. Olejak +11
The first neutron star-neutron star merger was detected in by LIGO/Virgo in a galaxy in which the majority of star formation was taking place a long time ago (11 Gyr). LIGO/Virgo e…
Formation of Double Neutron Stars, Millisecond Pulsars and Double Black Holes
Edward P. J. van den Heuvel
The 1982 model for the formation of the Hulse-Taylor binary radio pulsar PSR B1913+16 is described, which since has become the standard model for the formation of double neutron st…
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…
Determination of the mass of the neutron star in SMC X-1, LMC X-4 and Cen X-3 with VLT/UVES
A. van der Meer, L. Kaper, M. H. van Kerkwijk +2
We present the results of a spectroscopic monitoring campaign of the OB-star companions to the eclipsing X-ray pulsars SMC X-1, LMC X-4 and Cen X-3. High-resolution optical spectra…
Double Neutron Stars: Evidence For Two Different Neutron-Star Formation Mechanisms
E. P. J. van den Heuvel
Six of the eight double neutron stars known in the Galactic disk have low orbital eccentricities (< 0.27) indicating that their second-born neutron stars received only very small v…
