Abstract
In this study we develop relations connecting the rate of orbital period variations Ṗ of binary stars with the significant parameters of their evolution, under nonconservative conditions in a fundamental level of description. In this framework, a new generalized \( \dot J \) − Ṗ-type relation is derived, that can be used in estimation of parameters connected with basic evolutionary processes, when Ṗ is known from O – C time-series analysis.
