Gamma-ray binaries and related systems

G Dubus - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2013 - Springer
After initial claims and a long hiatus, it is now established that several binary stars emit high-
(0.1–100 GeV) and very high-energy (> 100 GeV) gamma rays. A new class has emerged …

Formation of double neutron star systems

TM Tauris, M Kramer, PCC Freire, N Wex… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
Double neutron star (DNS) systems represent extreme physical objects and the endpoint of
an exotic journey of stellar evolution and binary interactions. Large numbers of DNS systems …
