The criteria for dynamical mass transfer of the main-sequence donor stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2013
Abstract
Mass transfer is very common in binary evolution and it dominates the evolutionary fate of binaries. Two crucial problems i.e. dynamical mass transfer and common envelope evolution, are not well understood yet. Here we focus on the first problem, and systematically show the critical mass ratio for dynamical mass transfer when the donor stars are still on the main sequence (MS).
