Scientific paper

If the assumption of a catastrophic explosion during the formation of a neutron star is correct, the parent systems for Šklovsky's model of SCO XR-1 seem to have been very short-period white-dwarf binaries. A white dwarf originally in contact with its Roche limit is forced to lose mass. During the ejection of matter the primary may pass the white-dwarf mass limit and become a neutron star. The mass transfer time-scale can change from pulsational to thermal, and a mass flow of 10-9 M &sun; per year needed for SCO XR-1 can be understood, while at the same time the orbital period will increase.
