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.

Disks in close Binary Stars [PDF]

Disks in close binaries offer great opportunities for testing and refining astrophysical models and are studied in this thesis in the context of dwarf novae and planet formation. Dwarf novae are a subclass of cataclysmic variables (CVs), which are close binary systems with separations on the order of one solar radius, consisting of a white dwarf ...

THE CLOSE BINARY FRACTION OF DWARF M STARS [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2011
We describe a search for close spectroscopic dwarf M star binaries using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to address the question of the rate of occurrence of multiplicity in M dwarfs. We use a template fitting technique to measure radial velocities from 145,888 individual spectra obtained for a magnitude-limited sample of 39,543 M dwarfs.

Disks in close binary stars [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2021
Context. Close binaries (abin ≤ 20 au) are known to harbor planets, yet planet formation is unlikely to succeed in such systems. Studying the dynamics of disks in close binaries can help to understand how those planets could have formed. Aims. We study the impact that numerical and physical parameters have on the dynamics of disks in close binaries. We

Quantitative Spectroscopy of Close Binary Stars [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2011
AbstractThe method of spectral disentangling has now created the opportunity for studying the chemical composition in previously inaccessible components of binary and multiple stars. This in turn makes it possible to trace their chemical evolution, a vital aspect in understanding the evolution of stellar systems. We review different ways to reconstruct

The Eclipses of the Close Binary Star BE UMa [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1996
BE UMa is a close binary star, not transferring mass, with an extremely hot primary star irradiating the inner face of the cool secondary star. The light curve shows a large-amplitude, sinusoidal variation with a period of 2.29 d, and an eclipse that is centered on the minimum of the variation [1], [3].

The Search for Close Binary Evolved Stars [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1989
AbstractWe report on a search for short-period binary systems composed of pairs of evolved stars. The search is being carried out concurrently with a program to characterize the kinematical properties of two different samples of stars. Each sample has produced one close binary candidate for which further spectroscopic observations are planned.

Gravitoastronomy with neutron stars [PDF]

, 2004
Recent advances in gravitational wave detectors mean that we can start to make astrophysically important statements about the physics of neutron stars based on observed upper limits to their gravitational luminosity.

Close encounters of star–black hole binaries with single stars

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023
ABSTRACT Multibody dynamical interactions of binaries with other objects are one of the main driving mechanisms for the evolution of star clusters. It is thus important to bring our understanding of three-body interactions beyond the commonly employed point-particle approximation.
