Scientific paper

The formation of low mass X-ray binaries containing a neutron star as the compact X-ray source is discussed. The problem presented by the standard mechanism and concerning the disruption of the binary system is investigated. Two solutions are possible: either the neutron star forms isolately, and only later binds with a relatively low-mass star, or it forms in situ. It is shown that the accretion induced collapse of CO white dwarfs is possible for a limiting range of initial conditions. In contrast, ONeMg white dwarfs appears less likely.
