About this Item

Paperback. This book contains the proceedings of IAU Symposium No 151 :Evolutionary Processes in Interacting Binary Stars", which was held from 5 to 9 August 1991 in Cordoba, Argentina. The primary aim of this conference was to review and evaluate current understanding of the evolutionary pocesses in a wide variety of interacting binary stars from their births to their deaths. Subjects include the formation of binaries, mass flow and transfer, accretion processes and binaries with collapsed components, such as novae, x-ray binaries and binary pulsars. As the field covered is both broad and diverse, there were in all 37 invited talks; 62 contributed papers were also presented. In addition, these proceedings contain comments from a panel discussion of the major unsolved problems of interacting binary stars. Subjects included the formation of binaries, mass flow and transfer, accretion processes, and binaries with collapsed components, such as novae, X-ray binaries and binary pulsars.

Synopsis

This book contains the proceedings of Iau Symposium No. 151 `Evolutionary Processes in Interacting Binary Stars,' which was held from 5 to 9 August 1991 in Cordóba, Argentina.
The primary aim of this conference was to review and evaluate our current understanding of the evolutionary processes in wide variety of interacting binary stars from their births to their deaths. Subjects included the formation of binaries, mass flow and transfer, accretion processes, and binaries with collapsed components, such as novae, X-ray binaries and binary pulsars. As the field covered is both broad and diverse, there were in all thirty-seven invited talks; sixty-two contributed papers were also presented. In addition, these proceedings contain comments from a panel discussion of the major unsolved problems of interacting binary stars.
