Despite being observed since the XVIIIth century, Algol systems and related objects are<p>still rather poorly understood. We know that they are composed by a generally B-A main sequence<p>star and a lighter but more evolved companion star. This paradox is explained by the transfer of mass<p>between the two stars, but new problems arose. In particular, I studied the mass-transfer driven spin-<p>up of the accreting star that drives the star to critical rotation and the puzzling, indirectly observed, non-conservative evolution. / Doctorat en Sciences / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
