Visualising Interacting Binaries in 3D

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

I have developed a code which allows images to be produced of a variety of interacting binaries for any system parameters. The resulting images are not only helpful in visualising the geometry of a given system but are also helpful in talks and educational work.
