Summary[edit]

Description
English: A three-dimensional representation of the Roche potential in a binary star with a mass ratio of 2, in the co-rotating frame. The droplet-shaped figures in the equipotential plot at the bottom of the figure are called the Roche lobes of each star. L1, L2 and L3 are the points of Lagrange where forces cancel out. Mass can flow through the saddle point L1 from one star to its companion, if the donor star fills its Roche lobe.
Esperanto: Tridimensia bildigo de la potencialo de Roche en dustela sistemo kies maskvocienco estas 2, en la kunturnema referenco. La guta formaro en la sampotenciala grafiko sube de la bildo nomiĝas la loboj de Roche de ambaŭ steloj. , kaj estas la punktoj de Lagrange kie fortoj nuliĝas. Maseroj povas flui el la sela punkto el unu stelo ĝis la alia, se la elstelo plenumas la lobon de Roche.
