Tidal Flows in asynchronous binaries: The β-factor
Instituto de Astronomía, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Apdo. Postal 70-264 D.F., 04510 México, Mexique
We discuss the potential role that tidal flows in asynchronous binary stars may play in transporting chemically enriched material from deep layers towards the surface and the corresponding observational consequences of these processes. We suggest that the time-dependent velocity field induced by asynchronous rotation may contribute significantly to the mixing, thus providing a channel for the formation of chemically enriched slowly rotating massive stars.
