We propose timing observations of southern double neutron star (DNS) systems to obtain precise estimates of the component masses and thus increase the statistics of neutron star mass distribution. The
The rate of tidal circularization is predicted to be faster for relatively cool stars with convective outer layers, compared to hotter stars with radiative outer layers....
VizieR online Data Catalogue associated with article published in journal Astronomical Journal (AAS) with title 'Adiabatic mass loss in binary stars. II. From zero-age main sequence to the base of the
One of the greatest uncertainties in modelling the mass-exchange phases during the evolution of a binary system is the amount of mass and angular momentum that has been lost...
