Tidal Dissipation Impact on the Eccentric Onset of Common Envelope Phases in Massive Binary Star Systems
Michelle Vick, Morgan MacLeod, Dong Lai +1
Tidal dissipation due to turbulent viscosity in the convective regions of giant stars plays an important role in shaping the orbits of pre-common envelope systems. Such systems are…
Tidal Evolution of Eccentric Binaries Driven by Convective Turbulent Viscosity
Michelle Vick, Dong Lai
Tidal dissipation due to convective turbulent viscosity shapes the evolution of a variety of astrophysical binaries. For example, this type of dissipation determines the rate of or…
Tidal Effects in Eccentric Coalescing Neutron Star Binaries
Michelle Vick, Dong Lai
Dynamically formed compact object binaries may still be eccentric while in the LIGO/Virgo band. For a neutron star (NS) in an eccentric binary, the fundamental modes (f-modes) are…
Formation of Hot Jupiters through Secular Chaos and Dynamical Tides
Jean Teyssandier, Dong Lai, Michelle Vick
The population of giant planets on short-period orbits can potentially be explained by some flavours of high-eccentricity migration. In this paper we investigate one such mechanism…
Polygram Stars: Resonant Tidal Excitation of Fundamental Oscillation Modes in Asynchronous Stellar Coalescence
Morgan MacLeod, Michelle Vick, Dong Lai +1
The prevalence of binary stars at close separations implies that many of these systems will interact or merge during the binary's lifetime. This paper presents hydrodynamic simulat…
Chaotic Tides in Migrating Gas Giants: Forming Hot and Transient Warm Jupiters via High-Eccentricity Migration
Michelle Vick, Dong Lai, Kassandra R. Anderson
High-eccentricity migration is an important channel for the formation of hot Jupiters (HJs). In particular, Lidov-Kozai (LK) oscillations of orbital eccentricity/inclination induce…
