Mass Loss in Algol-Type Stars: Implication on their Evolutionary Stage
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We have examined the observational data of 102 Algols in order to clarify the implications on their evolutionary scenario of various assumptions concerning mass and angular momentum loss during mass transfer. We have found that case B mass exchange is strongly favoured for Algols of relatively low total mass (~ M < 7 Mʘ), while case A predominates, though not so widely as expected in Algols of higher total mass.
