X-ray binaries and their descendants: binary radio pulsars; evidence for three classes of neutron stars?
E. P. J. van den Heuvel
An important recent discovery by Pfahl et al. (2002) is that there are two classes of Be X-ray binaries: one with orbits of small eccentricity (<0.25), in which the neutron stars r…
Formation and Evolution of Compact Stellar X-ray Sources
Thomas M. Tauris, Ed van den Heuvel
In this chapter we review the formation and evolution of compact binaries with neutron star and/or black hole components (i.e. LMXBs, HMXBs, binary pulsars). After an introduction…
The optical/near-IR spectral energy distribution of the GRB 000210 host galaxy
J. Gorosabel, L. Christensen, J. Hjorth +25
We report on UBVRIZJsHKs-band photometry of the dark GRB 000210 host galaxy. Fitting a grid of spectral templates to its Spectral Energy Distribution (SED), we derived a photometri…
Strategies for prompt searches for GRB afterglows: the discovery of the GRB 001011 optical/near-infrared counterpart using colour-colour selection
J. Gorosabel, J. U. Fynbo, J. Hjorth +25
We report the discovery of the optical and near-infrared counterparts to GRB 001011. The GRB 001011 error box determined by Beppo-SAX was simultaneously imaged in the near-infrared…
On the origin of the difference between the runaway velocities of the OB-supergiant X-ray Binaries and the Be/X-ray Binaries
Edward P. J. van den Heuvel, Simon F. Portegies Zwart, Dipankar Bhattacharya +1
The recent finding by Chevalier & Ilovaisky (1998) that OB-supergiant X-ray binaries have relatively large runaway velocities whereas Be/X-ray binaries have low runaway velocities,…
New Direct Observational Evidence for Kicks in SNe
T. M. Tauris, E. P. J. van den Heuvel
We present an updated list of direct strong evidence in favour of kicks being imparted to newborn neutron stars. In particular we discuss the new cases of evidence resulting from r…
