Evaporation of Companions in VLMXBs and in Binary Millisecond Pulsars

  • Chapter
X-Ray Binaries and Recycled Pulsars

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 377))

Abstract

The principles underlying the process of formation of a wind from a stellar atmosphere by external heating are applied to binary companions of neutron stars (NSs) which are being heated by radiation from the NS in Very-Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (VLMXBs) and in binary millisecond pulsar (BMP) systems. Among others, the possibilities of companion evaporation and of self-excited X-ray systems is discussed. The fast changes in the binary period of the ”windy” BMP 1957+20 and the nature of the newly discovered ”windy” BMP 1744-24A are discussed as well.
