Accurate integrations of the Roche model

The Roche model for close binary systems in synchronous rotation is accurately integrated to give volume radii, surface areas, mean gravities, and mean inverse gravities in normalized units. The range of fill-out F is 0.2 to 2.0, and for smaller fill-out factors a simple analytical approximation is...

Zusammenfassung:The Roche model for close binary systems in synchronous rotation is accurately integrated to give volume radii, surface areas, mean gravities, and mean inverse gravities in normalized units. The range of fill-out F is 0.2 to 2.0, and for smaller fill-out factors a simple analytical approximation is adequate. The mass ratio range q is 0.4 to 1.0. A table of contact potentials is given for q between 0.01 and 1.0.
