Journal ArticleDOI
A new technique for calculations of binary stellar evolution, with application to magnetic braking
TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified stellar evolution code is proposed to calculate the evolution of close binary systems with collapsed binaries and mass-losing secondaries, which is a more general, but still simplified, technique for calculating the evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of highly compact binary stellar systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a new theoretical treatment of the evolution of highly compact binary systems is presented, where almost the entire mass of the secondary has been transferred to the primary or lost from the system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary status of bright, low-mass x-ray sources/sup 1/
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of bright, low-mass X-ray binaries is proposed which features a lower giant-branch star losing mass on a nuclear time scale to an accreting compact companion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mass Transfer Instabilities Due to Angular Momentum Flows in Close Binaries
Frank Verbunt,Saul Rappaport +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the temps de croissance d'une instabilite de transfert de masse dans un systeme binaire serre de faible masse est calcule.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation and evolution of luminous supersoft X-ray sources
TL;DR: In this paper, a Monte Carlo simulation of the formation and evolution of supernova supernovae is presented, and it is shown that a sufficient subset of the initial binary systems evolve to become systems with the requisite properties, so that they can account for the population of supersoft sources that is inferred from observations.
