Evolution of rotation in binaries: physical processes
Michel Rieutord
In this review, we describe the physical processes driving the dynamical evolution of binary stars, namely the circularization of the orbit and the synchronization of their spin an…
Oscillations of rapidly rotating stars
Boris Dintrans, Michel Rieutord
We present numerical simulations of gravito-inertial waves propagating in radiative zones of rapidly rotating stars. A first model, using the Boussinesq approximation, allows us to…
A comparison of the anelastic and subseismic approximations for low-frequency stellar oscillations: an application to rapidly rotating stars
Boris Dintrans, Michel Rieutord
After showing that the anelastic approximation is better than the subseismic one to filter out acoustic waves when studying low-frequency stellar oscillations, we compute gravito-i…
Acoustic modes in spheroidal cavities
F. Lignières, M. Rieutord, L. Valdettaro
Oscillation modes of rapidly rotating stars have not yet been calculated with precision, rotational effects being generally approximated by perturbation methods. We are developing…
