The Roche Problem [E-Book] : And Its Significance for Double-Star Astronomy / by Zdenĕk Kopal.
The words of this preface were written when the book was ready to go to the press; and are limited to only a few points which are best made in this place. As is intimated by the sub-title, the whole volume was written with appli cations in mind to double-star astronomy. The latter is, however, not...
