The Evolution of Cool Algols

Abstract: We apply a model of dynamo-driven mass loss, magnetic braking and tidal friction to the evolution of stars with cool convective envelopes; in particular we apply it to binary stars where the combination of magnetic braking and tidal friction can cause angular-momentum loss from the orbit. For the present we consider the simplification that only one component of a binary is subject to ...
