Apsidal motion in triple stellar systems with distorted components


The effect of the inclined spin axes and/or the presence of a third companion (as well as some dissipation) on the orbital elements of close distorted binaries is studied numerically. We mainly concentrated on the question how these phenomena may lead to the irregularly slow apsidal motion in some systems (e.g. AS Cam, DI Her). Some observational consequences are also discussed.
