Irradiation pressure effects in close binary systems
We present a method for the calculation of the effects of external irradiation on the geometrical shape of the secondary in a close binary containing a compact star, the source of the radiation, and a normal companion star, where we include the possibility of shadowing by an accretion disc. The mode...
