Book Tides in Close Binary Systems

Book excerpt: We consider three aspects of tidal interactions in close binary systems. 1) We first develop a framework for predicting and interpreting photometric observations of eccentric binaries, which we term tidal asteroseismology. In such systems, the Fourier transform of the observed lightcurve is expected to consist of pulsations at harmonics of the orbital frequency. We use linear stellar perturbation theory to predict the expected pulsation amplitude spectra. Our numerical model does not assume adiabaticity, and accounts for stellar rotation in the traditional approximation. We apply our model to the recently discovered Kepler system KOI-54, a 42-day face-on stellar binary with e=0.83. Our modeling yields pulsation spectra that are semi-quantitatively consistent with observations of KOI-54. KOI-54's spectrum also contains several nonharmonic pulsations, which can be explained by nonlinear three-mode coupling. 2) We next consider the situation of a white dwarf (WD) binary inspiraling due to the emission of gravitational waves. We show that resonance locks, previously considered in binaries with an early-type star, occur universally in WD binaries. In a resonance lock, the orbital and spin frequencies evolve in lockstep, so that the tidal forcing frequency is approximately constant and a particular normal mode remains resonant, producing efficient tidal dissipation and nearly synchronous rotation. We derive analytic formulas for the tidal quality factor and tidal heating rate during a g-mode resonance lock, and verify our results numerically. We apply our analysis to the 13-minute double-WD binary J0651, and show that our predictions are roughly consistent with observations. 3) Lastly, we examine the general dynamics of resonance locking in more detail. Previous analyses of resonance locking, including my own earlier work, invoke the adiabatic (a.k.a. Lorentzian) approximation for the mode amplitude, valid only in the limit of relatively strong mode damping. We relax this approximation, analytically derive conditions under which the fixed point associated with resonance locking is stable, and further check our analytic results with numerical integration of the coupled mode, spin, and orbital evolution equations. These show that resonance locking can sometimes take the form of complex limit cycles or even chaotic trajectories. We also show that resonance locks can accelerate the course of tidal evolution in eccentric systems.

Book Dynamics of Close Binary Systems

Download or read book Dynamics of Close Binary Systems written by Zdenek Kopal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1978-08-31 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the present book will be to provide a comprehensive account of our present knowledge of the theory of dynamical phenomena exhibited by elose binary systems; and on the basis of such phenomena as have been attested by available observations to outline probable evolutionary trends of such systems in the course of time. The evolution of the stars - motivated by nuelear as weIl as gravitation al energy sources - constitutes nowadays a well-established branch of stellar astronomy. No theo ries of such an evolution are as yet sufficently specific - let alone infallible - not to require continual tests by a confrontation of their consequences with the observed prop erties of actual stars at different stages of their evolution. The discriminating power of such tests depends, of course, on the range of information offered by the test objects. Single stars which move alone in space are now known to represent only a minority of objects constituting our Galaxy (cf. Chapter 1-2); and are, moreover, not very revealing of their basic physical characteristics - such as their masses or absolute dimensions. If there were no binary systems in the sky, the only star whose vital statistics would be fully known to us would be our Sun.

Book Evolutionary Processes in Interacting Binary Stars

Download or read book Evolutionary Processes in Interacting Binary Stars written by Y. Kondo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1992-06-30 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the proceedings of IAU Symposium No. 151 `Evolutionary Processes in Interacting Binary Stars,' which was held from 5 to 9 August 1991 in Cordóba, Argentina. The primary aim of this conference was to review and evaluate our current understanding of the evolutionary processes in wide variety of interacting binary stars from their births to their deaths. Subjects included the formation of binaries, mass flow and transfer, accretion processes, and binaries with collapsed components, such as novae, X-ray binaries and binary pulsars. As the field covered is both broad and diverse, there were in all thirty-seven invited talks; sixty-two contributed papers were also presented. In addition, these proceedings contain comments from a panel discussion of the major unsolved problems of interacting binary stars.

Book Hydrodynamics of Mass Transfer and Accretion in Close Binary Systems With Compact Objects

Download or read book Hydrodynamics of Mass Transfer and Accretion in Close Binary Systems With Compact Objects written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most stars are formed in binary or multiple systems. Many of these stars will undergo some period of mass transfer at some point during their lifetimes. Hence it is useful to understand the dynamics of mass transfer in binary star systems in order to better understand the current population of stars in the Galaxy and their evolution. A natural class of objects for study are the close binary stars that contain compact objects such as neutron stars or black holes. These systems are bright X-ray emitters, allowing us to study the circumstellar gas within them. We use numerical hydrodynamic modeling to study mass transfer processes in the high-mass X-ray binaries, including the evolutionary sequence between wind fed and disk fed systems, elliptical orbit X-ray binaries, and the global dynamics of LMC X-4 in 3D. We also investigate the properties of high resolution 3D accretion disks, including transport via global wave modes, the effects of tidal stream impact, and the fluid response of tilted disks.

Book Interior Modelling of Massive Stars in Multiple Systems

Download or read book Interior Modelling of Massive Stars in Multiple Systems written by Cole Johnston and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis by Cole Johnston brings novel insights into the inner workings of young massive stars. By bridging the observational fields of binary stars and asteroseismology this thesis uses state of the art statistical techniques to scrutinise theories of modern stellar astrophysics. Developing upon the commonly used isochrone fitting methodology, the author introduces the idea of isochrone cloud fitting in order to account for the full breadth of physics observed in stars. The author combines this methodology with gravity mode asteroseismic analysis to asses the level of chemical mixing deep within the stellar core in order to determine the star‘s age and core mass. Wrapped into a robust statistical framework to account for correlations, this methodology is employed to analyse individual stars, multiple systems, and clusters alike to demonstrate that chemical mixing has dramatic impact on stellar structure and evolution.
