Irradiated stars with convective envelopes
L. B. Lucy
The observed radii of M dwarfs in eclipsing binaries exceed predicted radii by ~ 5%. To investigate this anomaly, the structure of low-mass stars irradiated by a close companion is…
Mass fluxes for O-type supergiants with metallicity Z = Z_{\sun}/5
L. B. Lucy
A code used previously to predict O-star mass fluxes as a function of metallicity is used to compute a grid of models with the metallicity of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Thes…
Mass estimates for visual binaries with incomplete orbits
L. B. Lucy
The problem of estimating the total mass of a visual binary when its orbit is incomplete is treated with Bayesian methods. The posterior mean of a mass estimator is approximated by…
Bayesian inference for orbital eccentricities
L. B. Lucy
Highest posterior density intervals (HPDI's) are derived for the true eccentricities of spectroscopic binaries with measured values e ~ 0. These yield upper limits when e is below…
Coronal winds powered by radiative driving
L. B. Lucy
A two-component phenomenological model developed originally for zeta Puppis is revised in order to model the outflows of late-type O dwarfs that exhibit the weak-wind phenomenon. W…
Mass fluxes for hot stars
L. B. Lucy
In an attempt to understand the extraordinarily small mass-loss rates of late-type O dwarfs, mass fluxes in the relevant part of (T_{eff}, g)-space are derived from first principle…
