Thus, by the time a core reaches the trigger mass, the nebular gas may have disappeared. There may be exposed ...

Solution: Because the distance between the two stars doesn’t change as they orbit about each other, there is a central point where the lines connecting the two objects intersect as the objects move, as can be seen in the figure above.
