Evolution of the Binary Fraction in Dense Stellar Systems

J. M. Fregeau, N. Ivanova, F. A. Rasio

Using our recently improved Monte Carlo evolution code, we study the evolution of the binary fraction in globular clusters. In agreement with previous N-body simulations, we find g…

Stellar Collisions and Ultracompact X-ray Binary Formation

J. C. Lombardi, Z. F. Proulx, K. L. Dooley +3

(abridged) We report the results of SPH calculations of parabolic collisions between a subgiant or slightly evolved red-giant star and a neutron star (NS). Such collisions are like…

The Evolution of Binary Fractions in Globular Clusters

N. Ivanova, K. Belczynski, J. M. Fregeau +1

We study the evolution of binary stars in globular clusters using a new Monte Carlo approach combining a population synthesis code (StarTrack), and a simple treatment of dynamical…

Compact binaries in globular clusters

N. Ivanova, F. A. Rasio

In dense stellar systems the frequent dynamical interactions between stars play a crucial role in the formation and evolution of compact binaries. We study these processes using a…

The Role of Helium Stars in the Formation of Double Neutron Stars

N. Ivanova, K. Belczynski, V. Kalogera +2

We have calculated the evolution of 60 model binary systems consisting of helium stars in the mass range of M_He= 2.5-6Msun with a 1.4Msun neutron star companion to investigate the…
