The condition of complete synchronous (orbital plus spin) rotation is satisfied in the system, and both bodies have the same masses and congruent ellipsoidal surfaces. For each figure, besides its own gravity and centrifugal forces, the attraction from the second body is taken into account in the tidal approximation. The spatial form of equilibrium figures as triaxial ellipsoids is found by an analytical and numerical method. The spin rotation of ellipsoidal equilibrium figures is established to occur not around small axes, as is usually assumed, but around the middle axes of the ellipsoids. This method is used to study the binary asteroid (190166) 2005 UP156, which approximately satisfies the initial conditions of the problem.

The motion of the fourth body of negligible mass (infinitesimal mass) is effected by the motion of the primaries, and its motion is perturbed by the radiation pressure and Stokes drag. All the primaries are established at the vertices of an equilateral triangle and known as Lagrangian configuration. The dynamics of an infinitesimal body has been studied under the influences of radiation pressure of all the primaries with Stokes drag and variable mass. Jeans’ law and space time transformations of Meshcherskii have been used to formulate the equations of motion of the infinitesimal body. We have numerically investigated the existence and locations of the equilibrium points in the theoretical ranges of the parameters. The numerical investigations delved that all the equilibrium points are non-collinear, the collinear equilibrium points do not exist due to the presence of Stokes drag. Further, we have observed that all the equilibrium points are unstable for all values of the parameters considered. Moreover, the regions of motion have been drawn for different values of the parameters, i.e., for the radiation parameters <span>({{q}_{i}} (0 &lt; {{q}_{i}} &lt; 1),)</span> <span>(i = 1,2,3)</span>, the proportionality constant <span>(alpha (0 &lt; alpha leqslant 2.2))</span> occurs due to Jeans’ law, the mass parameter <span>(mu (0 &lt; mu leqslant 1{text{/}}3))</span>, and for the dissipative constant <span>(k (0 &lt; k &lt; 1))</span>.

This paper is applicable in various di-sciplines of celestial mechanics as space mission planning, satellite dynamics, and fundamental astrodynamics research.

The general property of axisymmetric force-free magnetic ropes is that with the exit of the top of the magnetic loop-rope into the corona, the external pressure that keeps it from lateral expansion steadily decreases, and with some critical decrease in this pressure, the longitudinal magnetic field of the rope becomes zero on the surface where the electric current changes its sign (it is current inversion surface—CIS). In this case, the force-free parameter <span>(alpha (r))</span> and the azimuthal electric current <i>j</i>_ϕ(<i>r</i>) experience a second-order discontinuity on this surface, so that in the vicinity of CIS their values begin to increase without limit. The current (drift) speed of electrons here will inevitably exceed the speed of ion sound. This serves as a trigger for the heating of non-isothermal plasma (so it turns out <i>T</i>_e <span>( gg )</span> <i>T</i>_i) and the excitation of plasma ion-acoustic instability of the plasma not only near the CIS, but also in the central region of the rope, on its axis, where the current density is especially high. The appearance of anomalous resistance leads to rapid dissipation of the magnetic field and the generation of a super-Dreicer electric field. The Parker effect, associated with the equalization (with some delay) of the torque along the axis of the rope due to the transfer of the azimuthal field to the region of energy release, leads to quasiperiodic pulsations of hard flare radiation and, ultimately, ensures the flare release of the most part of free magnetic energy accumulated in the rope.</p>","PeriodicalId":55440,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy Reports","volume":"68 6","pages":"601 - 609"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142219991","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}

The 2D distributions and the vertical structure of rotation measure and magnetic energy are analysed for times corresponding to extrema and close to zero values of rotation measure.

It is shown that the assumption of the conservative evolution of these binary systems leads to an overestimation of the X-ray luminosity of the Galaxy by 3–4 orders. The total observed rate of accretion of matter by relativistic components of X-ray binaries is close to <span>( {sim} {{10}^{{ - 6}}}{{M}_{ odot }}{text{/}})</span>yr, while the theoretically possible rate reaches <span>( {sim} {{10}^{{ - 2}}}{{M}_{ odot }}{text{/}})</span>yr. The contradiction between these estimates is eliminated if two factors are taken into account. The first of them is the formation of a common envelope in massive X-ray binary systems after filling the Roche lobe by the donor and the brief phase of a bright X-ray source. The common envelope eliminates the output of X-ray radiation generated during accretion, and also leads to the loss of part of the donor’s matter from the system. The second factor is the presence of intense stellar wind of donors in massive X-ray binary, as well as the occurrence of induced stellar wind in low-mass donors due to exposure to hard radiation from an accreting relativistic star. At the same time, the generally accepted assumption that donors of X-ray binaries fill their Roche lobes may not be fulfilled. A significant part of the donor’s wind matter may be lost from the system. In addition, radiation can enhance the stellar wind of the accretion disk, and part of this wind will also leave the system. There are other factors that reduce the total number of accreted matter: supernova explosions in X-ray binaries, destroying part of these systems, the impossibility of accretion onto rapidly rotating young neutron stars with a strong magnetic field, as well as a rapid drop in the rate of loss of matter by the donor as its mass decreases, characteristic for low-mass X-ray systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":55440,"journal":{"name":"Astronomy Reports","volume":"68 6","pages":"565 - 575"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142219983","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}
