Interacting Binary Stars and Star Formation in Galactic Nuclei

9315455 Phinney将进行理论天体物理学的几项相关研究。 一个是关于双星星星系统成员之间的相互作用，这是由于恒星既不是静态的，也不是弹性的。 一个普通的星星和它的黑洞或中子星星伴星之间的质量转移将被建模，以解释x射线双星和行星绕恒星的观测。 将进行一项广泛的研究计划，旨在了解恒星如何在星系的致密核中形成，以及这些恒星告诉我们关于星星形成的情况。 ***

9315455 Phinney Several related studies in theoretical astrophysics will be conducted. One concerns interactions between members of binary star systems which are caused by the fact that stars are neither static nor elastic. Mass transfer between an ordinary star and its black hole or neutron star companion will be modeled to account for observations of x-ray binaries and planets orbiting pulsars. A broad research program will be undertaken which is aimed at understanding how stars may form in the densest nuclei of galaxies and what these stars tell us about star formation. ***
