Under the assumption of the binary neutron star (BNS), the total mass of $3.4^{+0.3}_{-0.1}\\, M_\\odot$ lies five standard deviations away from the known Galactic population mean. In the standard common envelope scenario, the immediate progenitor of GW190425 is a close binary system composed of an NS and a He-rich star. With the detailed binary evolutionary modeling, we find that in order to reproduce GW190425-like events, super-Eddington accretion (e.g., $1,000\\,\\dot{M}_{\\rm Edd}$) from a He-rich star onto the first-born NS with a typical mass of 1.33 $M_\\odot$ via stable Case BB mass transfer (MT) is necessarily required. Furthermore, the immediate progenitors should potentially have an initial mass of $M_{\\rm ZamsHe}$ in a range of $3.0-3.5$ $M_\\odot$ and an initial orbital period of $P_{\\rm init}$ from 0.08 days to 0.12 days, respectively. The corresponding mass accreted onto NSs via stable Case BB MT phase varies from $0.70\\, M_\\odot$ to $0.77\\, M_\\odot$. After the formation of the second-born NS, the BNSs are expected to be merged due to gravitational wave emission from $\\sim$ 11 Myr to $\\sim$ 190 Myr.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-09-11T01:39:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "super-eddington accretion", "form gw190425", "case bb mass transfer", "case bb mt phase varies", "he-rich star" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
