Low Mass Ratio Contact Binary V410 Aur and V776 Cas - II [PDF]

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2005
New BVR CCD light curves of the low mass ratio contact binaries, V410 Aur and V776 Cas, were observed with the 61 cm reflector and a 2K CCD camera at the Sobaeksan Astronomical Observatory.

Statistical Survey for the Physical Characteristic of Near Contact Binary(NCBs) [PDF]

Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2005
The absolute dimensions and orbital elements of 66 near contact binaries, collected from literatures, have been analyzed to investigate the physical characteristics of the near contact binaries as well as co-relations among physical parameters.

The Strength and Shapes of Contact Binary Objects

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
While contact binary objects are common in the solar system, their formation mechanism is unclear. In this work we examine several contact binaries and calculate the necessary strength parameters that allow the two lobes to merge without the smaller of ...

Mass-ratio distribution of contact binary stars [PDF]

, 2023
The mass ratio $q$ of a contact binary star evolves due to mass transfer, magnetic braking, and thermal relaxation oscillations to small values until it crosses a critical threshold $q_\text{min}$. When that happens, the binary undergoes the tidal Darwin

Modeling contact binaries

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023
Context. Among massive stars, binary interaction is the rule rather than the exception. The closest binaries – those with periods of less than ∼10 days – undergo mass transfer during core-hydrogen burning, with many of them experiencing a nuclear-timescale contact phase.

A contact binary satellite of the asteroid (152830) Dinkinesh. [PDF]

Nature
Abstract Asteroids with diameters less than about 5 km have complex histories because they are small enough for radiative torques (that is, YORP, short for the Yarkovsky–O’Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack effect) 1 to be a notable factor in their evolution 2
