Evolution of intermediate-mass X-ray binaries driven by magnetic braking of Ap/Bp stars: I. Ultracompact X-ray binaries

It is generally believed that ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) evolved from binaries consisting of a neutron star accreting from a low-mass white dwarf(WD) or helium star where mass transfer is driven by gravitational radiation. However, the standard WD evolutionary channel cannot produce the rel...
