abstract

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 we discuss stellar evolution in binaries and the processes involved in the mass-transfer phases of close binaries (RLO, CE, ang.mom.loss) with radiative/convective hydrogen or helium donor stars. We also describe the effects of accretion, asymmetric SN and systems merging as a result of gravitational wave radiation.

The Double-lined Eclipsing $\gamma$ Doradus System AX Draconis in a 0.568-day Orbit

astro-ph.SR · 2026-06-04 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

AX Dra is characterized as a 0.568-day semi-detached eclipsing binary with component masses 1.717 and 0.804 solar masses, radii 1.541 and 1.237 solar radii, and four independent gamma Dor pulsation frequencies in the primary, making it the shortest such system and suggesting the primary is an accret

Where are Gaia's small black holes?

astro-ph.HE · 2025-08-12 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Natal kicks from supernovae are proposed to disrupt Gaia progenitor binaries containing low-mass black holes more frequently than those leading to gravitational-wave mergers, accounting for the observed difference in the 2.5-5 solar mass gap.

Iron line diagnostics of the stellar wind in X1908+075

astro-ph.HE · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Chandra HETGS observations of X1908+075 detect variable Fe Kα fluorescence, model NH orbital changes to derive inclination 46° and wind mass-loss rate 9.1e-7 solar masses per year, confirming a classical wind-fed supergiant X-ray binary.
