The Formation of Close Binary Systems
A viable solution to the origin of close binary systems, unaccounted for in recent theories, is presented. Fragmentation, occurring at the end of the secondary collapse phase (during which molecular hydrogen is dissociating), can form binary systems with separations less than 1 au. Two fragmentation modes are found to occur after the collapse is halted. The rst consists of the fragmentation of ...
متن کاملHydrodynamic 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...
