Test of the Initial Mass-Ratio Distribution

Each run of our calculations consisted of computing tex2html_wrap_inline8905 evolutionary tracks for 10 equal intervals of the initial mass ratio tex2html_wrap_inline10600 =(0-0.1, 0.1-0.2, ..., 0.9-1.0) performed for seven values of the common envelope efficiency tex2html_wrap_inline10602 , 0.3, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 10 and 10 values of the kick velocity 0, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 700, 1000 km stex2html_wrap_inline8853 . In total, we obtained 700 matrices of stages. Then, for each value of the tex2html_wrap_inline8879 and w we convolved the matrices from different intervals of mass ratio according to the trial initial mass ratio distribution for 50 values of the exponent tex2html_wrap_inline8881 ranging from 0 to 5 (that is, from a flat to a highly peaked toward unity initial distribution). Further, we convolved the matrices for the specified initial power law for the assumed kick velocity distribution (see the next section).

In our calculations we prohibited accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of   accreting WD, as otherwise we would get an excessive number of long-lived low-mass X-ray sources which would give an unobservably high X-ray luminosity of the Galaxy. However, we must note that the question of the AIC possibility for massive O-Ne-Mg WD deserves more detailed study. Here we only note that observational evidence favoring the AIC constantly appear in literature (e.g. Lipunov and Postnov (1985)[111]).

The results of testing tex2html_wrap_inline8881 and tex2html_wrap_inline8879 parameters without kick velocity are presented in the form of "topographical maps" (i.e. as isolines) of constant ``COOC'' criterion in the tex2html_wrap_inline10616 plane calculated separately for each of the binary species listed in Table 4 (Figures 16-20). The total COOC criterion calculated with equal weights tex2html_wrap_inline10618 is shown in Figure 21.

It is clear from these figures that the best coincidence with the observations is reached when tex2html_wrap_inline10620 -3 and tex2html_wrap_inline10622 -10. A rather weak influence of the common envelope  efficiency is connected with a wide log-normal distribution of binaries by initial semimajor axes, so only boundary effects (corresponding to the extreme values of tex2html_wrap_inline8879 ) can change the results significantly.

As for the initial binary mass ratio distribution, it seems that at least for those binaries that produce NS during the course of their evolution, it must peak rather strongly toward unity, which is opposite to the widely used flat-like distributions (see, van den Heuvel, 1994[205]); however, high mass ratios among massive unevolved binary O-stars appear to occur less frequently, thus confirming our conclusions (Garmany et al., 1980[54]).

In Figure 22 we show how the total accretion X-ray luminosity of the LMXB depends on the parameter tex2html_wrap_inline8881 for different values of the parameter tex2html_wrap_inline8879 . It is worth noting that for tex2html_wrap_inline10630 the luminosity is essentially independent of the collapse anisotropy  and can be analytically fitted by the power law
