Is this diagramme an argument for binary orbital evolution due to mass-loss?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
In 1963, a diagramme has been established by the author, for visual and spectroscopic binaries, showing the existence of a real correlation between total mass and eccentricity.
The consideration of an up-dated material leads to-day to an identical diagramme confirming the reality and the stability of the mentioned correlation.
This diagramme is discussed with the assumption of a substantial secular mass-loss of the components of the considered binaries.
