Sentence examples for by the outer star from inspiring English sources

To the best of our knowledge, only de Vries et al. (2014) have performed detailed simulations of mass transfer initiated by the outer star in a triple.

de Vries et al. (2014) simulate the mass transfer phase initiated by the outer star for two triples in the Tokovinin catalogue, ξ Tau and HD97131.

For both systems, they find that the matter lost by the outer star does not form an accretion disk or circumbinary disk, but instead the accretion stream intersects with the orbit of the inner binary.

Another proposed channel involves systems with a very wide outer orbit of tens to thousands of AU and in which the outer star interacts with the material lost by the progenitor-star of the PN (Soker et al. 1992; Soker 1994).

Systems that are sufficiently wide that the outer star does not fill its Roche lobe, might still be affected by mass loss from the outer star in the form of stellar winds.

For these systems the outer star evolves faster than the other stars (Section 2.1).

The authors show that for a hierarchical triple in which the outer star collapses in a SN event, the inner binary is not affected, and the effect on the outer orbit can be approximated by that of an isolated binary.

Firstly, the outer star may interact with the disk directly if its orbit crosses the disk.

We assume the outer star does not dynamically affect the inner binary.

We do not allow the inner binary to accrete mass from the outer star.

This latter is possible when the outer star loses mass in a stellar wind (Section 2.2.1).
