Figure 1: Evolution of a Binary System. The more massive star evolves first to become a red giant and then a white dwarf. The white dwarf then begins to attract material from its companion, which in turn evolves to become a red giant. Eventually, the white dwarf acquires so much mass th...
Related to Binary star system:neutron star binary star n. A system of two stars bound together by gravity and orbiting a common center of mass, most often appearing as a single star when visible to the unaided eye. Also calleddouble star. ...
<italic>Aims.</italic> The aim of this work is to develop a formalism for the study of the secular evolution of a binary system which includes interaction due to the tides that each body imparts on the other. We also consider the influence of the <italic>J</italic>2-related secular ...
A growing number of close binary stars are being discovered among central stars of planetary nebulae. Recent and ongoing surveys are finding new systems and contributing to our knowledge of the evolution of close binary systems. The push to find more systems was largely based on early discoveries...

A comprehensive series of VLBI (very-long-baseline interferometry) observations of SS433, carried out over an 11-day period on the European VLSI Network at 5 GHz, reveals the motion and evolution of a series of faint 'blobs' ejected from the system. Thes
Here we report N-body simulations of the dynamical evolution of newborn triple systems still embedded in their nascent cloud cores that match observations of very wide systems. We find that although the triple systems are born very compact-and therefore initially are more protected against ...
The evolution of helium stars with masses of 1.56.7 M in binary systems with a 1.4-M neutron star companion is presented. Such systems are assumed to be the remnants of Be/X-ray binaries with B-star masses in the range 820 M which underwent a case B or case C mass transfer and surv...
Star cluster ecology III: Runaway collisions in young compact star clusters The evolution of young compact star clusters is studied using N-body simulations in which both stellar evolution and physical collisions between stars are ... SP Zwart,J Makino,McMillan, Stephen L. W.,... - 《Astronom...
