Mass loss from interacting close binary systems
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
Mass outflow from interacting close binary systems, accompanied by loss of orbital angular momentum, appears to be a very important process affecting the evolution of binary stars. Together with accretion on the mass-gaining component, it is the least understood aspect of the general complex process we call “evolution with mass transfer and/or mass loss”, or, more briefly, “interaction”. It is therefore very imperative to assemble and examine all available facts or hints about mass loss.
