Numerical Simulations of Wind Accretion in Symbiotic Binaries
About half of the binary systems are close enough to each other for mass to be exchanged between them at some point in their evolution, yet the accretion mechanism in wind accreting binaries is not well understood. We study the dynamical effects of gravitational focusing by a binary companion on winds from late-type stars. In particular, we investigate the mass transfer and formation of accreti...
متن کاملComplex wind dynamics and ionization structure in symbiotic binaries
Aspects of the wind-dynamics in symbiotic binaries, colliding winds and accretion, are reviewed. Inconsistencies between theory and observations of the hot star wind are discussed. If the hot star wind were governed by CAK theory, nearly all symbiotics would be colliding wind binaries. For the case of colliding winds, 3D hydrodynamical simulations reveal that the matter distribution is spirally...
متن کاملMass transfer in tidally unstable compact binaries
The 2001 outburst of WZ Sagittae has shown the most compelling evidence yet for an enhancement of the mass transfer rate from the donor star during a dwarf nova outburst in the form of hot-spot brightening. I show that even in this extreme case, the brightening can be attributed to tidal heating near the interaction point of an accretion stream with the expanding edge of an eccentric accretion ...
متن کاملIrradiation and mass transfer in low-mass compact binaries
This paper studies the reaction of low-mass stars to anisotropic irradiation and its implications for the long-term evolution of compact binaries (cataclysmic variables and lowmass X-ray binaries). First, we show by means of simple homology considerations that if the energy outflow through the surface layers of a lowmass main sequence star is blocked over a fraction seff < 1 of its surface (e.g...
متن کاملStellar wind accretion in high-mass X-ray binaries
Recent discoveries have confirmed the existence of a large population of Xray sources fuelled by accretion from the stellar wind of an OB supergiant. Such systems are powerful laboratories to study many aspects of astrophysics. Over the last decades, the physics of accretion in these systems has been the subject of extensive research, mainly through numerical methods. In spite of this effort, l...
