Figure 8: Results of the Monte Carlo simulation of NS-WD binary generation and evolution in 47 Tuc. Each small dot represents a binary system. The circles and error bars are the 10 binary pulsars in 47 Tuc with well measured orbits. Systems in A have evolved through mass transfer from the WD to the NS. Systems in B have not yet evolved through gravitational radiation to begin RLOF from the WD to the NS. Systems in C will not undergo a common envelope phase. Figure taken from Rasio et al. [134]. |
