FROM THE December 2012 ISSUE

How close to each other do two stars have to be for one to steal material from the other?

Eddie Hackett, Tampa, Florida

Published: Monday, October 29, 2012

This т??tidal mass transferт?? depends on the size of the donor sun relative to the binary separation and, to a lesser extent, the ratio of donor-to-accretor mass. For two stars of the same mass, if the donor starт??s radius exceeds 38 percent of the binary separation, the accretor will steal mass no matter the separation.
