Evolution of Close Binary Systems [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2005 We collected data on the masses, radii, etc. of three classes of close binary stars: low-temperature contact binaries (LTCBs), near-contact binaries (NCBs), and detached close binaries (DCBs). They restrict themselves to systems where (1) both components are, at least arguably, near the Main Sequence, (2) the periods are less than a day, and (3) there ...

Activity of relatively close binaries [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1991 AbstractWhereas the rotation-activity relationship for single cool stars can be described in terms of fundamental stellar properties, the activity in relatively close binaries is enhanced with respect to that of single stars by an amount which depends strongly on the properties of the companion.

CLOSE BINARY PROGENITORS OF HYPERNOVAE [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics: Conference Series, 2012 In this paper we propose a new plausible mechanism of supernova explosions specific to close binary systems. The starting point is the common envelope phase in the evolution of a binary consisting of a red super giant and a neutron star. As the neutron star spirals towards the center of its companion it spins up via disk accretion.

Asteroseismology of Close Binary Stars [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2006 AbstractIn this review paper, we summarise the goals of asteroseismic studies of close binary stars. We first briefly recall the basic principles of asteroseismology, and highlight how the binarity of a star can be an asset, but also a complication, for the interpretation of the stellar oscillations.

Statistical Models for Close Binaries [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1982 AbstractStatistical models for binaries as a vhole were selected; then statistical properties of close binaries -the proportions of spectroscopic and eclipsing binaries and the distributions of the K velocities and of the depths of eclipse- were computed for each model.

Massive close binaries: Observational characteristics [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 1993 Theoretically predicted evolutionary phases of massive close binaries are compared with the observations. For the evolution up to the High-Mass X-ray Binary (HMXB) phase there is fair agreement between theory and observation. Beyond the HMXB phase there is much uncertainty.

Rotation in Close Binaries [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1980 It has been demonstrated (Zahn 1966 a, b, c; 1975, 1977) that turbulent viscous dissipation of tides can brake the rotation of stars having convective envelopes, while radiative dissipation can do like-wise for those having radiative envelopes. The time scales for the former are very small whereas those for the latter depend sensitively on the ratio r ...

Complexity in close binary evolution
Complexity, 2008 AbstractThe complex nature of close binary evolution is briefly reviewed. Population synthesis calculations of zero‐age cataclysmic variable stars (ZACVs) are presented using a common envelope (CE) efficiency parameter, αCE, that is a function of the core mass of the primary.
