| Abstract: | We present results of evolutionary computations for massive close binaries with the Brussels simultaneous evolution code for
conservative and non-conservative Roche lobe overflow (RLOF). We discuss mass transfer in massive close binaries during phases
of RLOF, common envelope, spiral-in and merging. We examine the effects of stellar wind during successive stellar evolution
phases and the final fate of primaries. We show how our library can be used to explain well-known binaries such as the WR
+ OB system V444 Cyg, HMXBs Vela X-1 and Wray 977, LMXBs like Her X-1, and binary pulsars. More details on the evolution of
massive close binaries can be found in “The Brightest Binaries” (Vanbeveren et al., 1998). |
