Physical Processes in Close Binary Systems

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Binary Stars. Selected Topics on Observations and Physical Processes

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 563))

Abstract

We review briefly some basic aspects of the structure and evolution of a star distorted by tides and rotation. Proximity effects like, for example gravity-darkening, are discussed using the properties of stellar internal structure. On the other hand, the differential equations of the dynamics of close binary systems are discussed with particular attention to apsidal motion. The tidal evolution equations for late and earlytype stars are also included and theoretical predictions are compared, when possible, with observations. Concerning stellar atmospheres, limb-darkening laws are revised using recent models. Furthermore, the influence of an external radiation field on the distribution of the intensities and on the irradiated spectrum is also investigated.
