Моделирование эквипотенциальных поверхностей двойной звезды

Abstract

The method of computer simulation of a gravitational field structure of the binary star revolving around the common mass center with constant angular speed, in rotating system of coordinates, is considered in this article. The given method allows building the equipotential surfaces corresponding to any value of effective potential. The created program illustrates position of all Lagrangian libration points and Roche cavities and can calculate parameters of a gravitational field in any point of space. Besides, this method allows to model equipotential surfaces for single stars, and also for any planetary and artificial systems which are situating in gravitational interaction. It can be applied as a methodical illustration in a university course of the general astronomy and astrophysics.
