Scientific paper

Comparison of the characteristics of groups of stars in various evolutionary phases and the study of individual systems allow estimates of the parameters governing mass loss and mass transfer. Observations enable the author in a few cases to determine geometric models for binaries during or after the mass transfer phase (disks, rings, common envelopes, symbiotics, interacting binaries, compact components). Information on parameters related to the mass transfer process enables to consider non-conservative evolution - i.e. the computation of evolutionary sequences with the assumption that mass and angular momentum not only are transferred from one of the components towards the other one, but that also mass and angular momentum can leave the system.
