Journal Article
Dervişoğlu, A., Pavlovski, K., Lehmann, H., Southworth, J., & Bewsher, D. (2018). Evidence for conservative mass transfer in the classical Algol system d Librae from its surface carbon-to-nitrogen abundance ratio. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 481(4), 5660 -5674. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty2684

Algol-type binary systems are the product of rapid mass transfer between the initially more massive component to its companion. It is still unknown whether the process is conservative, or whether substantial mass is lost from the system. The history...
