Figure 3: The evolutionary tracks of the primary in HR diagram for the two sequences. The solid curve corresponds to the track of the STD sequence, and the dotted curve corresponds to that of the ROT sequence. Points a, b, c, d and e on the tracks denote the zero age main sequence, the beginning of the mass transfer phase, the end of the central hydrogen-burning phase, the beginning of the central helium-burning phase and the end of the calculations, respectively. |
