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…
