Perturbations to Stellar Structure in 2D: Stellar Rotation and Heating in X-ray Binaries

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We have developed a numerical code with which we study the effects of 2D perturbations on stellar structure. We present new numerical and analytical results on the heating of a main-sequence star in a binary system by its companion.
