Structure Coefficients for Use in Stellar Analysis
Abstract
We give new values of the structural coefficients ηj, and related quantities, for realistic models of distorted stars in close binary systems. Our procedure involves numerical integration of Radau's equation for detailed structural data for stellar models taken from the EZWeb compilation of the Department of Astronomy, University of Wisconsin-Madison.
