Formation of classical Be-stars of the early spectral subclass in the case of nonconservative mass transfer in close binary systems

Spin-up of a mass gaining component in a binary system is considered taking into account the mass loss from the system during the mass transfer between components in the Hertzsprung gap. The angular momentum that the accreting component gains during mass transfer depends on the increase in the mass of the component at this stage. The increase in the mass was considered over a broad range, from 5% to 100%. The case is considered when, after mass transfer, the mass of the accreting component has a value of 16 M_solar, typical for early Be stars. The transfer of angular momentum within the accreting component occurs due to meridional circulation and shear turbulence. If the accreted mass accounts for more than 30%, the accretor obtains a rotation typical of early Be-stars. This conclusion does not depend on: a) the rotation of the accreting component before mass transfer, b) the amount of angular momentum coming from the boundary layer located between the star and the accretion disk, c) a possible decrease in the angular velocity of the disk below the Keplerian value, d) the efficiency of turbulence in the interior of the accretor.

The progenitors of Be-stars paired with O-subdwarfs: the spin-up of a Be star at the stage of conservative mass exchange

The spinning-up of the accreting component in the process of conservative mass exchange is considered in binary systems - progenitors of systems consisting of a main sequence Be-star and an O-subdwarf. During the mass exchange, the meridional circulation transfers 80-85\% of the angular momentum that entered the accretor together with the accreted matter to the accretor surface. This angular momentum is removed from the accretor by the disk. When the mass exchange finishes, the accretor has a rotation typical of classical Be-type stars.

Formation of a rapidly rotating classical Be-star in a massive close binary system

This paper investigates the spin-up of a mass-accreting star in a close binary system passing through the first stage of mass exchange in the Hertzsprung gap. Inside an accreting star, angular momentum is carried by meridional circulation and shear turbulence. The circulation carries part of the angular momentum entering the accretor to its surface. The greater the rate of arrival of angular momentum in the accretor is, the greater this part. It is assumed that this part of the angular momentum can be removed by the disk further from the accretor. If the angular momentum in the matter entering the accretor is more than half the Keplerian value, then the angular momentum obtained by the accretor during mass exchange stage does not depend on the rate of arrival of angular momentum. The accretor may have the characteristics of a Be-star immediately after the end of mass exchange.

The spin-up of a star gaining mass in a close binary system on the thermal time scale

We investigate the exchange of mass in a binary system as a channel through which a Be star can receive a rapid rotation. The mass-transfer phase in a massive close binary system in the Hertzsprung-gap is accompanied by the spinning up of the accreting component. We consider a case when the mass of the accreting component increases by 1.5 times. The component acquires mass and angular momentum while in a state of critical rotation. The angular momentum of the component increases by 50 times. Meridional circulation effectively transports angular momentum inside the component during the mass-transfer phase and during the thermal time scale after the end of the mass-transfer phase. As a result of mass transfer, the component acquires the rotation typical of classical Be stars.
