Aside from writing the book on symbiotic stars (The Symbiotic Stars, published by Cambridge University Press), I study the physical structure and long - term
evolution of these binary systems.
Not exact matches
If the
binary chants are expected to run as literal computer programs, then the cult is in trouble, just as it would be if it believed Earth is at the center
of the solar
system or that
evolution does not exist.
New research from the University
of Washington indicates that certain shot - period
binary star
systems eject circumbinary planets as a consequence
of the host stars»
evolution.
«Our knowledge
of binary evolution suggests that, if the companion star can survive the transition, brown dwarfs should be common in this type
of system.
When a star leaves the main sequence, its future
evolution is precisely determined by its mass, rate
of rotation (or angular momentum), and chemical composition and whether it is a member
of a close
binary system.
late stages
of stellar
evolution: white dwarfs, isolated and in interacting
binary systems, stellar explosions on white dwarfs (novae and type Ia supernovae).
Applying their model to known short - period
binary star
systems, the scientists found that this stellar - tidal
evolution of binary stars removes at least one planet in 87 %
of multi-planet
systems, and often more.
Fryer's computational astrophysics work involving the largest explosions in the universe has impacted some
of the most important open questions in astrophysics, including the origin
of the elements, the nature and
evolution of the first stars, the gravitational wave signals from compact
binary systems, and the mechanism responsible for gamma ray bursts.
Observing such
systems before they merge reveals crucial information about late - stage stellar
evolution,
binary interactions, and the types
of gravitational - wave signals we expect to find with current and future observatories.
