Cataclysmic variable evolution: AM Her binaries and the period gap
AM Her variables – synchronised magnetic cataclysmic variables (CVs) – exhibit a different period distribution from other CVs across the period gap. We show that non-AM Her systems may infiltrate the longer-period end of the period gap if they are metal-deficient, but that the position and width of the gap in orbital period is otherwise insensitive to other binary parameters (excepting the norm...
متن کاملThe orbital period distribution of wide binary millisecond pulsars
We present results of a binary population synthesis study on the orbital period distribution of wide binary millisecond pulsars forming through four evolutionary channels. In three of the channels, the progenitor of the millisecond pulsar undergoes a common envelope phase prior to the supernova explosion which gives birth to the neutron star. In the fourth channel, the primary avoids the common...
متن کاملOn the orbital period distribution of cataclysmic variables
Using the latest compilation of cataclysmic variable orbital periods by Ritter & Kolb we argue against Verbunt’s conclusion that the period gap is not significant for novalike variables. We also discuss the relation of the VY Scl stars to the dwarf novae.
متن کاملThe Orbital Period Distribution of Subdwarf B Binaries
We present the results of a 3.5 year long campaign to measure orbital periods of subdwarf B (sdB) star binaries. We directly compare our observed orbital period distribution with that predicted by using binary population synthesis. Up to now, most of our systems seem to have been formed through two of the formation channels discussed by Han et al.(2003), i.e. the first and the second common env...
متن کاملOrbital migration and the period distribution of exoplanets
An abstract should be given e use the model for the migration of planets introduced in Del Popolo, Yesilyurt & Ercan (2003) to calculate the observed mass and semimajor axis distribution of extra-solar planets. The assumption that the surface density in planetesimals is proportional to that of gas is relaxed, and in order to describe disc evolution we use a method which, using a series of simpl...
