AbstractWe present a systematic study of the evolution of intermediate- and low-mass X-ray binaries. Our calculations suggest that millisecond binary pulsars in wide orbits might have neutron stars born massive, or been formed through mass transfer driven by planet/brown dwarf-involved common envelope evolution.

Abstract We present the results of our extensive binary orbital motion corrected pulsation search for 13 low-mass X-ray binaries. These selected sources exhibit burst oscillations in X-rays with frequencies ranging from 45 to 1 122 Hz and have a binary orbital period varying from 2.1 to 18.9 h. We first determined episodes that contain weak pulsations around the burst oscillation frequency by searching all archival Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer data of these sources. Then, we applied Doppler corrections to these pulsation episodes to discard the smearing effect of the binary orbital motion and searched for recovered pulsations at the second stage. Here we report 75 pulsation episodes that contain weak but coherent pulsations around the burst oscillation frequency. Furthermore, we report eight new episodes that show relatively strong pulsations in the binary orbital motion corrected data.

AbstractConsiderations of donor star stability, age, and mass transfer rate show that low-mass X-ray binaries and binary millisecond pulsars with orbital periods longer than a few days must have survived an initial phase of super-Eddington mass transfer. We review the physical arguments leading to this conclusion, and examine its implications for the apparent discrepancy between the death rate for low-mass X-ray binaries and the birth rate of binary millisecond pulsars.
