Case a evolution of massive close binary systems

The evolution of three close binary systems of total mass 20.4M in and after the phase of mode Br mass-transfer in caseA of mass exchange is investigated. In every case a secondary component evolves to interfere with the progress of primary's evolution and the system overflows the outer critical surface before the primary completes its nuclear-burning evolution. This strongly indicates the importance of simultaneous calculation of both components. A summary of evolution of the systems considered in this series of papers up to the stage ofL ₂-overflow is given. The observational aspects of the numerical models are also discussed.
