Zahn's Theory of Dynamical Tides and Its Application to Stars
arXiv:1708.01906 · doi:10.1134/S1063773717060020
Abstract
Zahn's theory of dynamical tides is analyzed critically. We compare the results of this theory with our numerical calculations for stars with a convective core and a radiative envelope and with masses of one and a half and two solar masses. We show that for a binary system consisting of stars of one and a half or two solar masses and a point object with a mass equal to the solar mass and with an orbital period of one day under the assumption of a dense spectrum and moderately rapid dissipation, the evolution time scales of the semimajor axis will be shorter than those in Zahn's theory by several orders of magnitude
