The effect of stellar compressibility and non-resonant dynamic tides on the apsidal-motion rate in close binaries
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper is devoted to the analysis of the systematic deviations between the classical formula for the rate of secular apsidal motion in close binaries and the formula established within the framework of the theory of dynamic tides. The basic behaviour is found to be governed by the dependency of the forcing frequencies on the orbital period and the rotational angular velocity, irrespective of the stellar model. For binaries with short orbital periods a good agreement between the classical apsidal-motion formula and the formula established within the framework of the theory of dynamic tides is only possible for certain values of the rotational angular velocity.

The influence of dynamic tides on the apsidal-motion rate in close binaries with an evolved main-sequence star
The validity of the classical formula for the rate of secular apsidal motion in close binaries is investigated for a sequence of models of a 5M⊙ star ranging from the last stages of the C 12 → N reaction to the phase where hydrogen is exhausted in the core. For binaries with short orbital periods, the apsidal-motion rates predicted by the classical formula deviate from the rates determined with...
متن کاملResonant dynamic tides and apsidal motion in close binaries
The resonance of a dynamic tide with a free oscillation mode in a component of a close binary system of stars is treated by means of a two-time variable expansion procedure. The treatment is developed with respect to a frame of reference corotating with the star. Both the free oscillation mode and the dynamic tide are considered as linear, isentropic perturbations of a spherically symmetric sta...
متن کاملDynamic Tides in Close Binaries
The basic theory of dynamic tides in close binaries is reviewed. Particular attention is paid to resonances between dynamic tides and free oscillation modes and to the role of the apsidal-motion rate in probing the internal structure of binary components. The discussed effects are generally applicable to stars across the entire Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, including the binary OB-stars discusse...
متن کاملNonadiabatic resonant dynamic tides and orbital evolution in close binaries
This investigation is devoted to the effects of nonadiabatic resonant dynamic tides generated in a uniformly rotating stellar component of a close binary. The companion is considered to move in a fixed Keplerian orbit, and the effects of the centrifugal force and the Coriolis force are neglected. Semi-analytical solutions for the linear, nonadiabatic resonant dynamic tides are derived by means ...
متن کاملThe apsidal motion test of stellar structure in relativistic systems
We have compared observational data of apsidal motion rates for relativistic eclipsing binaries with theoretical predictions based on stellar theoretical models. Ten double-lined eclipsing binaries with high quality light curves and radial velocities were selected. The analysis of the data available indicate that the predictions by the General Relativity and the new stellar models are able to e...
