Constraining the Mass Loss Geometry of Beta Lyrae

Constraining the Mass Loss Geometry of Beta Lyrae

Massive binary stars lose mass by two mechanisms: jet-driven mass loss during periods of active mass transfer and by wind-driven mass loss. Beta Lyrae is an eclipsing, semi-detached binary whose state of active mass transfer provides a unique opportunity to study how the evolution of binary system...
