Evolutionary Binary Sequences for Low- and Intermediate-Mass X-ray Binaries
TL;DR: In this paper, Tauris et al. present the results of a systematic study of the evolution of low and intermediate-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs and IMXBs) using a standard Henyey-type stellar evolution code and a standard model for binary interactions.

Evolutionary sequences for low- and intermediate-mass x-ray binaries
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a systematic study of the evolution of low and intermediate-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs and IMXBs) using a standard Henyey-type stellar evolution code and a standard model for binary interactions, where the initial mass of the secondary ranges from 0.6 to 7 M and the initial orbital period from ~4 hr to ~100 days.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of binary evolution on the dynamics of core collapse and neutron star kicks
Ph. Podsiadlowski,Norbert Langer,A. J. T. Poelarends,Saul Rappaport,Alexander Heger,Eric Pfahl +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors systematically examine how the presence in a binary affects the final core structure of a massive star and its consequences for the subsequent supernova explosion, and suggest that the core collapse in an electron-capture supernova (and possibly in the case of relatively small iron cores) leads to a prompt or fast explosion rather than a very slow, delayed neutrino-driven explosion.

TL;DR: This paper reported observations of a white dwarf (WD 1145+017) being transited by at least one, and probably several, disintegrating planetesimals, with periods ranging from 4.5 hours to 4.9 hours.
