The masses of the binaries vary with time under the Mestschersky unified law (MUL) and their motion is described by the Gylden-Mestschersky problem (GMP), with the assumption that the system is enclosed by a non-discrete disk of dust whose mass is also assumed to vary with time under the description of the MUL. Both secondary bodies in the binaries are assumed to be radiation emitters. The time varying system of equations are deduced and transformed to the autonomized equations with constant coefficients. The TEPs of the autonomized and non-autonomous systems are investigated and it is seen that there exists a pair of TEPs defined by the mass parameter<span><math><mi>υ</mi></math></span>, mass of disk<span><math><msub><mi>μ</mi><mi>d</mi></msub></math></span>and the mass variation parameter<span><math><mi>κ</mi></math></span>, for the autonomized system while those of the non-autonomous system additionally are defined by a function of time<span><math><mi>t</mi></math></span>. It is seen that the radial and vertical scale lengths of the disk affects the locations of the TEPs but this impact depends largely on the mass of the disk. Further, the impacts of the varying disks masses on the zero velocity curves (ZVC) of the dust grain around the TEPs, is investigated, and it is seen that, as the disk mass is increasing, the energy level decreases and the region where motion of the dust grain is forbidden increases. Additionally, the regions where motion is allowed around the binaries and the TEPs are determined by the disks masses. Next, we investigate the linear stability of the TEPs of the autonomized system and found it to be stable in some interval of the masses of the disks for both binaries. The TEPs of the non-autonomous system are unstable due to time<span><math><mi>t</mi></math></span>. To validate the linear stability, we explore the orbital numerical integration around the TEPs and calculated the Lyapunov exponent indicator (LEI) for different masses of the disks. It was observed that the orbits are stable in the interval of the linear stability and their corresponding LEI tend to zero. Finally, we analyze the Poincaré surface of sections (PSS) around the TEPs for the binaries and found that in the range of linearly unstable TEPs, chaos exists while periodic, quasi-periodic trajectories and islands exist in the range of the linearly stable TEPS.

Semi-supervised molecular clumps validation algorithm (SS-3D-Clump) is utilized to validate the 3D molecular clumps data generated by the method, and the confidence level of them are above 0.999.

The fluid and field pressure anisotropy among the parallel and perpendicular components to the magnetic field is taken into consideration. This anisotropy in the EoS causes axisymmetric deformation of the star. We found stable solutions of deformed super-Chandrasekhar ultramassive white dwarfs. At a fixed central electron number density, the mass first increases from the traditional Chandrasekhar limit with increase of central magnetic field strength, reaches a maximum and then decreases with further increase of central magnetic field. For lower central magnetic field strengths, both the pressure anisotropy and the resulting deformation are very less, and hence the mass increases. In the higher central magnetic field regime, the magnetic field pressure anisotropy becomes significantly strong. This leads to greater deformation from spherical symmetry and hence reduces the stellar mass. We also see that the maximum mass and its corresponding equatorial radius both decrease as central magnetic field strength increases. We also notice that the maximum mass occurs at higher central density as the magnetic field increases. These phenomena also occur because of the deviation from spherical symmetry due to higher pressure anisotropy. High magnetic field increases stellar compactness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54727,"journal":{"name":"New Astronomy","volume":"121 ","pages":"Article 102450"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144580360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
