The Pseudosynchronization of Binary Stars Undergoing Strong Tidal Interactions
Mara Zimmerman, Susan Thompson, Fergal Mullally +3
Eccentric binaries known as heartbeat stars experience strong dynamical tides as the stars pass through periastron, providing a laboratory to study tidal interactions. We measure t…

Accelerated Tidal Circularization Via Resonance Locking in KIC 8164262
Jim Fuller, Kelly Hambleton, Avi Shporer +2
Tidal dissipation in binary star and planetary systems is poorly understood. Fortunately, eccentric binaries known as heartbeat stars often exhibit tidally excited oscillations, pr…

KIC 8164262: a Heartbeat Star Showing Tidally Induced Pulsations with Resonant Locking
K. Hambleton, J. Fuller, S. Thompson +8
We present the analysis of KIC 8164262, a heartbeat star with a high-amplitude (~1 mmag), tidally resonant pulsation (a mode in resonance with the orbit) at 229 times the orbital f…
