RUI: Simultaneous Spectroscopy and Photometry of Interacting Binaries. A Joint Project with the University of Illinois.

大多数恒星都是以双星、第三恒星和更高的恒星出现的。 秩序系统。 双星系统中的一些恒星 它们彼此紧密地靠近， 他人的结构和演化。 在这样的“互动”中 双星，人们经常观察到从一颗星星到另一颗恒星的质量转移。 另一个是围绕接收质量的星星的吸积盘， 恒星大气层的加热和结构扭曲， 磁盘。 首席研究员建议研究这些现象， 一组选定的相互作用的二进制文件的情况下，采用 同时光度学和光谱学。 的文书 使用的将是一米伊利诺伊州反射器，现在位于 在圣地亚哥以东50英里的拉古纳山天文台， 由圣地亚哥州天文部门维护 大学 这项工作将与下列机构合作进行： Edward C.博士伊利诺伊大学的奥尔森说。

The majority of stars occur in binary, tertiary, and still higher order systems. Some of the stars in binary systems are in such close proximity of each other that they strongly effect each other's structures and evolution. In such "interacting" binaries, one frequently observes mass transfer from one star to the other, an accretion disk around the mass receiving star, and heating and structural distortions of the stars' atmospheres and the disk. The Principal Investigator proposes to study these phenomena in the case of a selected group of interacting binaries, employing simultaneous photometry and spectroscopy. The instrument to be used will be the one-meter Illinois reflector that is now located at the Mount Laguna Observatory 50 miles east of San Diego and maintained by the Astronomy Department of the San Diego State University. The work will be carried out in collaboration with Dr. Edward C. Olson of the University of Illinois.
