New Highlights in Interacting Binary Star Research
Call for Papers
This special issue of Advances in Astronomy appears timely when new observational techniques, dedicated and massive astronomical surveys, and powerful instrumentation are providing the means for making a major breakthrough in interacting binary star research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
- Binary star evolution
- Mass and angular momentum loss/exchange
- Accretion discs and their instabilities
- Outflows and circumbinary matter
- Advances of the field through new observational techniques
- New theoretical models applied to interacting binaries
We expect that this special issue will be a landmark in the field of interacting binaries and a reference for the new generation of scientists that will benefit from the revolution we are experiencing in astronomy today. Authors are invited to submit high quality research articles and review articles in all areas of interacting binary star research.
Authors should follow the Advances in Astronomy manuscript format described at the journal site http://www.hindawi.com/journals/aa/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following timetable:
