It is first considered what must happen if pulsars (i.e. neutron stars) are formed in close binary systems (CBS), and whether the resulting orbital motion and mass transfer should be observable. As this set of alternatives seems unlikely, there follow suggestions of how one might prevent the formation of neutron stars in close binaries. Finally, it is shown that ‘runaway’ pulsars with velocities larger than about 15 km/sec cannot be produced by isotropic supernova explosions within close binaries, and an alternative explanation is suggested for the observed correlation of periods of pulsars with their distances from the galactic plane.

AbstractMass outflow from interacting close binary systems, accompanied by loss of orbital angular momentum, appears to be a very important process affecting the evolution of binary stars. Together with accretion on the mass-gaining component, it is the least understood aspect of the general complex process we call “evolution with mass transfer and/or mass loss”, or, more briefly, “interaction”. It is therefore very imperative to assemble and examine all available facts or hints about mass loss.

AbstractNumerical simulations of the evolution of close binaries with primary mass between 3 and 15 Mʘ and mass ratios of ~ 1.5 were carried out. These results show that after mass transfer the system consists of a bright main-sequence.star together with a faint He-star in a rather wide orbit (p> 60d) Evolution of this kind predicts isotope anomalies for the CNO-elements with respect to their solar values.
