Spurious Eccentricities of Distorted Binary Components
I discuss the effect of physical distortion on the velocities of close binary components and how we may use the resulting distortion of velocity curves to constrain some properties of binary systems, such as inclination and mass ratio. Precise new velocities for 5 Cet convincingly detect these distortions with their theoretically predicted phase dependence. We can even use such distortions of v...
متن کاملEccentricities of Planets in Binary Systems
The most puzzling property of the extrasolar planets discovered by recent radial velocity surveys is their high orbital eccentricities, which are very difficult to explain within our current theoretical paradigm for planet formation. Current data reveal that at least 25% of these planets, including some with particularly high eccentricities, are orbiting a component of a binary star system. The...
متن کاملThe Orbital Eccentricities of Binary Millisecond Pulsars in Globular Clusters
Low-mass binary millisecond pulsars (LMBPs) are born with very small orbital eccentricities, typically of order e i 10 ?6 {10 ?3. In globular clusters, however, higher eccentricities e f e i can be induced by dynamical interactions with passing stars. Here we show that the cross section for this process is much larger than previously estimated. This is because, even for initially circular binar...
متن کاملTidally distorted accretion discs in binary stars
The non-axisymmetric features observed in the discs of dwarf novae in outburst are usually considered to be spiral shocks, which are the non-linear relatives of tidally excited waves. This interpretation suffers from a number of problems. For example, the natural site of wave excitation lies outside the Roche lobe, the disc must be especially hot, and most treatments of wave propagation do not ...
متن کاملHockey sticks, principal components, and spurious significance
[1] The ‘‘hockey stick’’ shaped temperature reconstruction of Mann et al. (1998, 1999) has been widely applied. However it has not been previously noted in print that, prior to their principal components (PCs) analysis on tree ring networks, they carried out an unusual data transformation which strongly affects the resulting PCs. Their method, when tested on persistent red noise, nearly always ...
