Discrepant Approaches to Modeling Stellar Tides, and the Blurring of Pseudosynchronization
R. H. D. Townsend, M. Sun
We examine the reasons for discrepancies between two alternative approaches to modeling small-amplitude tides in binary systems. The 'direct solution' (DS) approach solves the gove…

gyre_tides: Modeling binary tides within the gyre stellar oscillation code
Meng Sun, R. H. D. Townsend, Zhao Guo
We describe new functionality in the GYRE stellar oscillation code for modeling tides in binary systems. Using a multipolar expansion in space and a Fourier-series expansion in tim…

Magnetic braking with MESA evolutionary models in the single star and LMXB regimes
Seth Gossage, Vicky Kalogera, Meng Sun
Magnetic braking has a prominent role in driving the evolution of close low mass binary systems and heavily influences the rotation rates of low mass F- and later type stars with c…
