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…

Statistical mechanics and phase diagrams of rotating self-gravitating fermions
P. H. Chavanis, M. Rieutord
We compute statistical equilibrium states of rotating self-gravitating systems enclosed within a box by maximizing the Fermi-Dirac entropy at fixed mass, energy and angular momentu…
