We study equilibrium sequences of close binary systems composed of identical polytropic stars in Newtonian gravity. The solving method is a multi-domain spectral method which we have recently developed. An improvement is introduced here for accurate computations of binary systems with stiff equation of state ($\gamma>2$). The computations are performed for both cases of synchronized and irrotational binary systems with adiabatic indices $\gamma=3,~2.5,~2.25,~2$ and 1.8. It is found that the…
