Irradiation and mass transfer in low-mass compact binaries
This paper studies the reaction of low-mass stars to anisotropic irradiation and its implications for the long-term evolution of compact binaries (cataclysmic variables and lowmass X-ray binaries). First, we show by means of simple homology considerations that if the energy outflow through the surface layers of a lowmass main sequence star is blocked over a fraction seff < 1 of its surface (e.g...
متن کاملSuperhumps in Low–Mass X–Ray Binaries
We propose a mechanism for the superhump modulations observed in optical photometry of at least two black hole X-ray transients (SXTs). As in extreme mass–ratio cataclysmic variables (CVs), superhumps are assumed to result from the presence of the 3:1 orbital resonance in the accretion disc. This causes the disc to become non–axisymmetric and precess. However the mechanism for superhump luminos...
متن کاملHard X-ray Emission From Low Mass X-ray Binaries
We report on Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations of four type I X-ray bursters; namely 1E1724– 3045, GS1826–238, SLX1735–269 and KS1731-260. The first three were in a low state, with 1-200 keV Xray luminosities in the range ∼ 0.05−0.1 LEdd (LEdd: Eddington luminosity for a neutron star = 2.5×10 38 ergs s), whereas KS1731-260 was in a high state with a luminosity ∼ 0.35 LEdd. The low state ...
متن کاملSpin-Up of Low Luminosity Low Mass X-ray Binaries
We examine the spin-up of low luminosity, low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) to millisecond pulsars (MSPs). In the conventional spin-up model of the Ghosh & Lamb type, where the stellar magnetic field interacts with the Keplerian accretion disk, MSPs could be produced from LMXBs if magnetic field B∗ <∼ 10 8(Ṁ/1016g/s)1/2G, where Ṁ is the mass accretion rate. However, for Ṁ < Ṁc ∼ 10 g/s accretion ...
متن کاملPrecession of Magnetically Driven Warped Disks and Low-Frequency QPOs in Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries
An accretion disk around a rotating magnetized star is subjected to magnetic torques which induce disk warping and precession. These torques arise generically from interactions between the stellar field and the induced surface currents on the disk. Applying these new effects to weakly magnetized (B ∼ 107-109 G) neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries, we study the global hydrodynamical warping...
