Equilibrium, Stability and Orbital Evolution of Close Binary Systems
We present a new analytic study of the equilibrium and stability properties of close binary systems containing polytropic components. Our method is based on the use of ellipsoidal trial functions in an energy variational principle. We consider both synchronized and nonsynchronized systems, constructing the compressible generalizations of the classical Darwin and Darwin-Riemann configurations. O...
متن کاملThe 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...
