Supernovae, Pulsars

Scientific paper

A supernova explosion in a binary system is presented as an application of classical mechanics. The realistic assumptions that the original binary system was circular, the mass loss instantaneous, and the companion unaffected by ejected matter, permit a simple, analytic determination of the post-explosion binary. The period, semimajor axis and mass function of the original circular binary are related to the period, semimajor axis and mass function of the present binary. The space velocities of the post-explosion components are derived. The results are of current interest in connection with O,B runaway stars, collapsed stars in binary x-ray sources and with the discovery of a pulsar in a binary system.
