Constraining Progenitors of Observed Low-mass X-ray Binaries Using Convection and Rotation-Boosted Magnetic Braking
We present a new method for constraining the mass transfer evolution of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) - a reverse population synthesis technique. This is done using the detailed 1D stellar evolution code MESA (Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics) to evolve a high-resolution grid of binary systems spanning a …
