The formation of black-holes in low-mass X-ray binaries.

PORTEGIES ZWART S.F., VERBUNT F. and ERGMA E.

Abstract (from CDS):

We calculate the formation rates of low-mass X-ray binaries with a black hole. Both a semi-analytic and a more detailed model predict formation rates two orders of magnitude lower than derived from the observations. Solution of this conundrum requires either that stars with masses less than 20M☉ can evolve into a black hole, or that stellar wind from a member of a binary is accompanied by a much larger loss of angular momentum than hitherto assumed.
