The binary X-ray pulsar 1E 2259+59 - a descendant of an AM HER type system ?
Abstract
A possible evolutionary scenario for the binary X-ray pulsar lE 2259+59 is suggested. In the framework of this scenario the observational properties of the binary, the supernova remnant and the neutron star are explained in a self-consistent manner, AM Her-like systems (polars) are suggested to be possible progenitors of this class of X-ray pulsars.
