Download or read book Critical Observations Versus Physical Models for Close Binary Systems written by Kam-Ching Leung and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the proceedings of the second joint research program on close binary systems between the People's Republic of China and the United States. The planning for the double stars conference developed gradually through several years of close cooperation between astronomers of the PRC and the US. Topics covered include interacting am binaries, H-alpha emission and polarization of RS CVn stars, observational approach to close binary evolution, the role of polarimetry in understanding close binary stars and their interactions, physical models for close binaries and logical constraints, and accretion disks in dwarf novae.
