Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of close binary star systems, where two stars orbit each other in a celestial dance so tight that their gravitational interactions create a captivating display of stellar phenomena. The author takes us on a journey through the history of binary star discovery, from the serendipitous observations of early astronomers to the systematic studies that revealed their abundance and diversity. Close binary systems have played a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of stars. Their close proximity allows for the measurement of stellar masses and sizes, providing crucial data for refining theories of stellar structure and evolution. This book explores the intricate dynamics of these systems, including tidal forces, rotational distortion, and the complex interplay of gravitational and radiant energy. Through a detailed analysis of the theoretical light and velocity changes exhibited by close binaries, the author unlocks a wealth of information about their physical properties and evolutionary paths. From detached systems to semi-detached and contact binaries, we gain insights into the diverse forms and fates of these stellar partnerships. Ultimately, this book illuminates the profound significance of close binary systems in the grand tapestry of the cosmos, offering a window into the fundamental processes that govern the lives of stars and shape the evolution of galaxies.
