Modeling contact binaries, III. Properties of a population of close, massive binaries

By Matthias Fabry and others
Among massive stars, binary interaction is the rule rather than the exception. The closest binaries, those with periods of less than about 10 days, undergo mass transfer during core-hydrogen burning, with many of them experiencing a nuclear-timescale contact phase. Current binary population synthesis models predict the mass-ratio distribution of contact... Show more
