The elliptical motion of stars in close binary systems with a conservative mass exchange

Abstract

The problem of the motion of a star in a close binary system with a conservative mass exchange is considered. In contrast to the well-known Paczynski-Huang model, a new model is used that defines the motion of close binary systems in the case of an elliptical orbit. The reactive forces and the force of gravity of stars by the overflowing jet are accounted for in the elliptic motion of the star. The calculations of elliptical orbits of close binary stars show that the effect of the reactive force on the evolution of the star orbit can be different. The changes of the major axis and eccentricity of the orbit of the second star are defined. The results are applied to the BF Aurigae star system and are given in the form of figures.
