Radiation-driven evolution of low-mass x-ray binaries and the formation of millisecond pulsars

Description: Recent data on low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) and millisecond pulsars (MSPs) pose a challenge to evolutionary theories which neglect the effects of disk and comparison irradiation. Here we discuss the main features of a radiation-driven (RD) evolutionary model that may be applicable to several LMXBs. According to this model, radiation from the accreting compact star in LMXBs vaporizes'' the accretion disk and the companion star by driving a self-sustained mass loss until a sudden accretion-tur… more

Vaporizing neutron stars in low-mass x-ray binaries and the statistics of millisecond pulsars
