Edition

Orig. Ed 1992

Description

Pages

396

This pictorial atlas will serve astronomy professionals, amateurs, and even uninitiated, interested persons with insight into the makeup of binary star systems, some of which have their component stars so close together as to be in actual physical contact. Nothing like this atlas has ever existed in the field. Each page shows one binary star system at about ten positions in its orbit, so as to provide perspective for the viewer as the system turns, and shows a listing of the fundamental dimensions, mass data, radiative quantities, etc., which are known or estimated for the binary. This book will be of interest to theoretical astronomers, observers, and amateur astronomers. Further uses of the atlas is as an adjunct to graduate school courses in the analysis of binary star observations, or fundamentals of binary star research. It is also a good reference resource for university undergraduate laboratories.
