Binary interaction effects: predictions and observations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
Observations and predictions of interactions in close and massive binary systems are summarized. Tidal interactions are analyzed using a model which predicts the response of the stellar surface to the external gravitational force of the companion. The possible role of tidal interactions in determining the peculiar behavior of systems like HD 5980 and η Carinae is discussed.
