The structure of a close binary

A black-hole low-mass X-ray binary

Outflows

A black-hole in a high-mass X-ray binary

Black hole X-ray binaries

Eclipsing X-ray binaries are very rare

Dip Eclipse

Types of close binary systems

Equipotential surfaces in Roche geometry - Euler equation - Roche potential.. 12

Roche lobes

Flow of matter on the irradiated surface of a Roche-lobe filling star Coriolis frequency Rossby number V, L – velocity & length scales When Ro << 1 geostrophic flow: rotation important

Most close binaries have small eccentricities. This is not true of planets
