Magnetic Braking of Ap/Bp Stars: Application to Compact Black-Hole X-Ray Binaries
We examine the proposal that the subset of neutron-star and black-hole X-ray binaries that form with Ap or Bp star companions will experience systemic angular-momentum losses due to magnetic braking, not otherwise operative with intermediate-mass companion stars. We suggest that for donor stars poss...
