Dynamic Tides in Close Binaries
نویسنده
چکیده
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 discussed at this meeting.

In this talk, we review some recent advances in the theory of dynamic tides in close binaries. We particularly focus on the effects of resonances of dynamic tides with free oscillation modes and on the role of dynamic tides in the comparison of theoretically predicted and observationally inferred apsidalmotion rates.
متن کاملThe effect of stellar compressibility and non-resonant dynamic tides on the apsidal-motion rate in close binaries
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...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملThe asymptotic representation of dynamic tides in close binaries revisited
The asymptotic representation of low-frequency, linear, isentropic dynamic tides in components of close binaries derived by Smeyers (1997) is reconsidered. The constructions of the second-order boundary-layer solutions for the divergence and the radial component of the tidal displacement are made more transparent. Moreover, the determination of the constants involved in the second-order boundar...
متن کاملAsymptotic representation of low-frequency dynamic tides in close binaries
An asymptotic representation of low-frequency dynamic tides in close binaries is developed. The dynamic tides are treated as low-frequency, linear, isentropic, forced oscillations of a non-rotating spherically symmetric star. The asymptotic representation is developed to the second order in the forcing frequency. For the sake of simplification, the star is assumed to be everywhere in radiative ...
