Rapid Orbital Decay of Supersoft X-Ray Source WX Cen: a Surrounding Circumbinary Disk

Zhi-Qiang Liu, Wei-Min Liu, Wen-Cong Chen

WX Cen is most likely a candidate of compact binary supersoft X-ray sources, which consists of a white dwarf (WD) and a donor star that fills the Roche lobe. Recently, this source…

White Dwarf Mass Growth in Cataclysmic Variables: Roles of Dwarf Novae

Wei-Min Liu, Long Jiang, Wen-Cong Chen +1

The disc instability mechanism (DIM) is widely accepted to account for the transient behaviour of dwarf novae (DNe), which experience short outbursts separated by long quiescence.…

He-star donor AM CVn stars and their progenitors as LISA sources

Wei-Min Liu, Lev Yungelson, Alexandre Kuranov

Ultracompact cataclysmic variables (CVs) of the AM CVn type are deemed to be important verification sources for the future space gravitational wave detectors such as the Laser Inte…

A Strange Star Scenario for the Formation of Eccentric Millisecond Pulsar PSR J1946+3417

L. Jiang, Na Wang, Wen-Cong Chen +4

PSR J is a millisecond pulsar (MSP) with a spin period . Harbored in a binary with an orbital period days, the MSP is accompanied…

On the progenitors of AM CVn stars as LISA sources: the evolved donor star channel

Wei-Min Liu, Long Jiang, Wen-Cong Chen

The space gravitational wave (GW) detector Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) that was planed to launch in the early 2030s is to detect the low-frequency GW signals in the G…

A strange star scenario for the formation of isolated millisecond pulsars

Long Jiang, Na Wang, Wen-Cong Chen +3

According to the recycling model, neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries were spun up to millisecond pulsars (MSPs), which indicates that all MSPs in the Galactic plane ought to…

Can friction of the nova envelope account for the extra angular momentum loss in cataclysmic variables?

Wei-Min Liu, Xiang-Dong Li

It has been shown that the rate of angular momentum loss (AML) in cataclysmic variables (CVs) below the period gap is about 2.47 times that caused by gravitational radiation, sugge…

Evolution of post-Accretion Induced Collapse Binaries: the Effect of Evaporation

Wei-Min Liu, Xiang-Dong Li

Accretion-induced collapse (AIC) is widely accepted to be one of the formation channels for millisecond pulsars (MSPs). Since the MSPs have high spindown luminosities, they can imm…

On the White Dwarf Mass Problem of Cataclysmic Variables

Wei-Min Liu, Xiang-Dong Li

Recent observations show that the white dwarfs (WDs) in cataclysmic Variables (CVs) have an average mass significantly higher than isolated WDs and WDs in post-common envelope bina…

Magnetic braking of Ap/Bp stars: an alternative formation mechanism of compact intermediate-mass binary pulsars

Wei-Min Liu, Wen-Cong Chen

It is difficult for the intermediate-mass X-ray binaries (IMXBs) evolutionary channel to form intermediate-mass binary pulsars (IMBPs) with a short orbital period (less than 3 d) v…

Evolution of neutron star + He star binaries: an alternative evolutionary channel to intermediate-mass binary pulsars

Wen-Cong Chen, Wei-Min Liu

It is difficult for intermediate-mass X-ray binaries to form compact intermediate-mass binary pulsars (IMBPs) with a short orbital-period ($\la 3 \rm d$), which have a heavy ($\ga…

On the progenitors of millisecond pulsars by the recycling evolutionary channel

Wei-Min Liu, Wen-Cong Chen

The recycling model suggested that low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) could evolve into binary millisecond pulsars (BMSPs). In this work, we attempt to investigate the progenitor prop…
