Alexander, M. E. ; Chau, W. Y. ; Henriksen, R. N. Abstract The evolution of a close binary system in which one component-the compact one-is embedded in the disturbed and distended atmosphere of the normal companion, is considered. The general equations for the variation of the orbital elements due to the gravitational accretion drag are formulated and then applied to special systems (HD 153919 and Cen X-3). The effects on the tidal stability are also discussed. It is suggested that the kind of system and the evolutionary mechanism considered here can also be related to symbiotic objects.
