| Abstract: |
No analytic formulation is currently available to correctly treat
the exchange of mass and angular momentum between an AGB star and
its low-mass main-sequence companion. The goal of our research is
to derive prescriptions for the rates of mass and angular-momentum
transfer by wind in long-period binary systems, based on 3D SPH
simulations. In this poster, we present the first steps towards a
consistent modeling of such mass transfer. Special attention is paid
to the physics of mass loss by the giant star. One of the major
achievements of our approach is the ability to fully reproduce, for
the first time in 3D, the standard dust-driven wind model developed
by Bowen. |
