The Roche-lobe radius in Newtonian and non-Newtonian gravity

  • A. M. Velásquez-Toribio

摘要

In this paper, we extend the standard calculation of the Roche lobe from the Newtonian potential to non-Newtonian models, specifically Yukawa-type and power-law potentials. These models are significant because they arise from unification theories, such as those involving extra dimensions or scalar-tensor gravity. Furthermore, we develop fitting formulas for the equivalent volume radius ( R L $R_{L}$ ) under these potentials, analogous to Eggleton’s formula for the Newtonian case. We calibrate the fitting formulas of the non-Newtonian potentials with their corresponding numerical solutions.
