The secrets of the binary stars
Podcast Sylvain Chaty : Among the most curious stellar objects are the white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes. Many of these objects are in binary systems orbiting another "normal" star and in strong interaction with it.
The study of these complex relations is the subject of the most recent studies. Accretion disks, jets, fusion of stars are among the spectacular results. A Universe at the boundary of physics and astronomy which is observed with all available observation "windows" from radio waves to gamma-rays.
