He star evolutionary channel to intermediate-mass binary pulsars with a short-orbital-period Chen Wen-Cong School of Physics, Peking University Department of Physics, Shangqiu Normal University

Normal Radio Pulsars and Millisecond pulsars Normal radio pulsars MSPs
3
Recycled Scenario of MSPs X-ray pulsars Spin Periods death line
4
Binary pulsars Low mass binary pulsars (LMBPs) millisecond pulsar + He WD Intermediate mass binary pulsars (IMBPs) mildly recycled pulsar + CO/ONeMg WD spin periods, magnetic field, and orbital eccentricities of IMBPs are considerably greater than those of LMBPs

PSR J1802-2124 circular orbit, P orb =16.8 hr P s =12.6 ms M p =1.24+/-0.11 M sun M 2 =0.78+/-0.04 M sun, CO white dwarf (Ferdman et al. 2010, ApJ) Light pulsar, heavy WD, short orbital period, moderate long spin period imply that it experiences a peculiar evolutionary history
6
Previous works L/IMXB, Roche lobe overflow, common envelope, spiral in, short timescale super-Eddington accretion (van den Heuvel 1994) thermal-viscous instability of the accretion disks in IMXBs may result in the birth of a mildly recycled pulsar (Li 2002) Tauris et al (2000) found that IMBPs with wide orbit (> 3 d) can be formed through a short-lived highly super-Eddington mass transfer phase We propose that NS+He star system may be the progenitor of IMBPs with a short-orbital-period like PSR J1802-2124 Our work
7
Population synthesis Results: CC: core collapse AIC: accretion induced collapse
9
Initial distribution of NS + He star systems
10
An evolutionary example to PSR J1802-2124 Eggleton stellar code NS + He star system Eddington accretion limit Orbital angular momentum loss Gravitational wave radiation magnetic braking isotropic winds
11
Evolutionary results (Chen, Li & Xu 2011, A&A, in press) Observed parameters of PSR J1802-2124:
12
Summary There exist sufficient IMBPs with a short- orbital-period (SOP) in the Galaxy NS + He star channel may be responsible for the formation of most IMBPs with a SOP. AIC process makes a main contribution in forming SOP IMBPs
