in analysis of close binary stars, it is assumed that their orbits is circular and then by a rotating coordinate system, potential is obtained and then lagrangian points and so on...
Is the orbit of CLOSE binary stars nearly circular in reality or is it assumed circular because otherwise it is hard to solve ?
