Dust Formation in Massive WR+O Binaries: Recent Results
The massive, luminous Population I Wolf-Rayet stars can be considered as stars with the highest known sustained mass loss rates. Around 10% of WR stars may form carbon-rich dust in their dense and inhomogeneous winds. Though we are yet to find how dust is formed in such an extremely hostile environment, we have made substantial progress over the past decade. Here we discuss the results of recen...
متن کاملLong - term photometry of the Wolf - Rayet stars WR 137 , WR 140 , WR 148 , and WR 153 ⋆
In 1991, a long term UBV -photometry campaign of four Wolf-Rayet stars was started using the 60 cm telescope of the National Astronomical Observatory Rozhen, Bulgaria. Here we report on our observational results and discuss the light variations. The star WR137 was observed during 1991 1998. No indications of eclipses were found, though random light variations with small amplitudes exist, which ...
متن کاملUltra-Short Period Double-Degenerate Binaries
We review the current observational status of the ROSAT sources RX J1914.4+2456 and RX J0806.3+1527, and the evidence that these are ultra-short period (< 10 min) binary systems. We argue that an Intermediate Polar interpretation can be ruled out, that they are indeed compact binaries with a degenerate secondary, and that the period seen in the X-ray and optical is the orbital period. A white d...
متن کاملMass estimates in short–period compact binaries
Using stellar models we investigate the relation between mass and the spectral type of the secondary star in low–mass short–period compact binaries such as cataclysmic variables and soft X–ray transients. Allowing for different mass transfer rates and different system ages prior to mass transfer we find that the secondaries should populate a band in the spectral type vs. mass plane. The mass Mm...
متن کاملOn the spin–up of neutron stars to millisecond pulsars in long–period binaries
We study the accretion efficiency of neutron stars in long– period binaries (P ∼> 20 d) which accrete from a giant companion. Using α–disc models and taking into account the effect of irradiation of the accretion disc by the central accretion light source we derive explicit expressions for the duty cycle d and the accretion efficiency η in terms of the parameters of the binary system and the di...
