Binaries: Mass Exchange, Binaries: Evolution

Scientific paper

The criterion for the onset of mass exchange when the radius of a component star reaches its Roche lobe is only approximate, introduced to make the calculation one-dimensional. The author proposes a more strict criterion which still leaves the problem one-dimensional. He examines the Case A evolution of a 9 Msun+6 Msun binary system according to both the strict and approximate criteria. The results show that, with the strict criterion, the mass exchange process starts earlier, the fast mass exchange process stops later, leading to different component masses, different orbital period and different positions on the HR diagram.
