Close Binary Stars Modeled by Two Prolate Ellipsoids in Synchronous Rotation

The presence of tidal deformations in close binary stars has already been confirmed by astronomical observations. The present paper aims to simply address an astronomy problem, studying the relative movement of close binaries disturbed by their mutual deformation through some basic concepts and tool...
