Abstract:Binary stars are important for understanding stellar structure and evolution. Binary systems with an evolved component give us an important constraint about the role played by convection on the characteristic time for tidal synchronization and circularization. On this study, we discuss about the role of convection in binary stars with evolved components. Base on a stellar sample composed by 260 binary stars with surface convective mass determined from evolutionary models computed with the Toulouse-Geneva Evolu… Show more
