Difference between Roche limit and X-ray binary

Roche limit vs. X-ray binary

In celestial mechanics, the Roche limit, also called Roche radius, is the distance in which a celestial body, held together only by its own gravity, will disintegrate due to a second celestial body's tidal forces exceeding the first body's gravitational self-attraction. X-ray binaries are a class of binary stars that are luminous in X-rays.

Similarities between Roche limit and X-ray binary

Roche limit and X-ray binary have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Accretion disk, Black hole, Roche lobe.

Accretion disk

An accretion disk is a structure (often a circumstellar disk) formed by diffused material in orbital motion around a massive central body.

Black hole

A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing—not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside it.

Roche lobe

The Roche lobe (or Roche limit) is the region around a star in a binary system within which orbiting material is gravitationally bound to that star.

Roche limit and X-ray binary Comparison

Roche limit has 78 relations, while X-ray binary has 43. As they have in common 3, the Jaccard index is 2.48% = 3 / (78 + 43).
