This contribution reviews equations for angular momentum evolution in close binary systems, indicating implications for astrophysics.
In this contribution we review equations determining the evolution of of the orbital angular momentum vector together with the potentially misaligned rotation axes of the components of a close binary system. We briefly discuss their solution for this dynamical system. These equations incorporate a new ‘‘tidal’’ torque brought about by the action of Coriolis forces that was recently discovered by us. Some potential applications are also discussed.
