42. Close Binary Stars

Transactions of the International Astronomical Union, 1982
Interest in close binary stars continues to grow apace. Substantial fractions of the observing time on the International Ultraviolet Explorer and the various X-ray satellites have been devoted to extending our knowledge of a variety of interacting binaries. These, together with applications of novel ground-based techniques and the steady improvement of

The Gravitational Potential in Close Binary Star Systems

20th International Symposium on High-Performance Computing in an Advanced Collaborative Environment (HPCS'06), 2006
The gravitational potential for close binary systems is usually calculated assuming both stars to be point masses. Deupree and Karakas recently examined the internal structure of both members of a binary system under the assumption that the gravitational potential for each member is the gravitational potential produced by its own mass distribution and ...

Close Binary Stars

1985
Research on close binary systems has continued at a high level during the past triennium, although the rate of growth is noticeably slower - probably reflecting the cutbacks in funds to which many of us are subject. There have also been changes of emphasis within the field, which are commented on in the pages that follow.

Rotation in Close Binary Stars

Highlights of Astronomy, 1980
In binary stars of short period, axial rotation of the components tends to be synchronized with the orbital revolution. Rotation of B. and A stars is therefore slowed down, while for the later-type stars, it is accelerated. This latter fact probably contributes to the phenomenon of the RS CVn stars.

An Introduction to Close Binary Stars

2001
Binary systems of stars are as common as single stars. They are of fundamental importance because they allow stellar masses, radii and luminosities to be measured directly, and explain a host of diverse and energetic phenomena including X-ray binaries, cataclysmic variables, novae, symbiotic stars, and some types of supernovae.

Close-Binary Stars in Planetary Nebulae

2019
It is now clear, after many years of heated debate, that a significant fraction of planetary nebulae are the product of close-binary evolution. In this chapter, we present the history of the field and some of the obstacles that have hindered progress - including detailed descriptions of the techniques employed and their limitations.
