Hydrodynamic Instabilities in Close Binary Systems Frederic
Equilibrium uid con gurations for close binary systems can become globally unstable. Instabilities arise from the strong tidal interaction between the two components, which tends to make the e ective two-body potential governing the orbital motion steeper than 1=r. As a result, a circular orbit can become unstable to small radial perturbations. The instability can be either secular or dynamical...
متن کاملNonlinear tides in close binary systems
We study the excitation and damping of tides in close binary systems, accounting for the leading order nonlinear corrections to linear tidal theory. These nonlinear corrections include two distinct physical effects: three-mode nonlinear interactions, i.e., the redistribution of energy among stellar modes of oscillation, and nonlinear excitation of stellar normal modes by the time-varying gravit...
متن کاملMagnetic field generation in close binary systems
A simplemean field dynamomodel is developed and applied to two ‘dynamo-active’ components of a close or contact binary system.Tidal interaction is assumed to reducedifferential rotation to such a degree that the dynamo action is of ‘α2’ type. A variety of nonaxisymmetric magnetic fields are produced, steady and unsteady, of both odd, even and mixed parity with respect to the equatorial plane. T...
متن کاملIrradiation Pressure Effects in Close Binary Systems
We present a method for the calculation of the effects of external irradiation on the geometrical shape of the secondary in a close binary containing a compact star, the source of the radiation, and a normal companion star, where we include the possibility of shadowing by an accretion disc. The model is based on a simple modification of the standard Roche binary potential in which the radiation...
متن کاملGas flow in close binary star systems
An accretion disc around a compact star in a close binary star system is an ubiquitous and essential object. Accretion discs play, for example, important roles in cataclysmic variables, nova and X-ray sources. The standard theory to explain the physics in accretion discs is the α-disc model proposed by Shakura and Sunyaev (1973). In this theory, the accretion disc is in some kind of turbulent s...
