Evolutionary Link between X-ray Pulsars and Millisecond Radio Pulsars 李向东 南京大学天文学系 2009-7-30
X-ray Pulsars-Accretion Powered HMXBs LMXBs
The Recycled Scenario Spin Periods X-ray pulsars
Binary Pulsar Population Breton 2009
Evolution of HMXBs • Unstable mass transfer and common Envelope evolution
Evolution of LMXBs • Nuclear evolution • Mass and angular momentum loss
Formation Channel (1) TZO TZO Single NS
Observations vs. Theories Too long Porb or too small M2? Black widow pulsars? Deloye 2008
Problems with LMXB Evolution • The formation of LMXBs requires a contrived evolution with • extreme initial mass ratio • ejection of a massive common envelope by a low-mass star • survival as a bound system after the SN
Problems with LMXB Evolution • Birthrate problem (Kulkarni & Narayan 1988) • NLMXB ~ 100, τLMXB ~ 10^9 yr • NBMSP ~ 10^5, τBMSP ~ 10^9-10^10 yr • NBMSP /τBMSP ~ 10-100 NLMXB /τLMXB
Problems with LMXB Evolution • Mass and angular momentum loss Andronov et al. (2001) Lattimer (2007)
Problems with LMXB Evolution • Luminosity distribution Podsiadlowski et al. 2002
PSR J1903+0327 • In the Galactic plane • Ps=2.15 ms Porb=95 days • Mpsr~1.74 Msun • M2~1 Msun • e = 0.44!
