HD 152248 is a massive twin binary system used to study the internal structure of stars more than twenty times the mass of the Sun. By measuring the apsidal motion—the slow rotation of the orbit’s long axis—astronomers can probe how mass is distributed inside these stars. This study uses detailed stellar models to compare predictions with observations, focusing on the internal structure constant k2, which is sensitive to the density contrast between the core and outer layers. The models include ...
