Efficiency of Tidal Dissipation in Convective Flow Under Rapid Tidal Forcing
Hongzhe Zhou, Dong Lai
For close binaries and star-planet systems, tidal interactions mediate the energy transfer between the orbital motion and the internal flows of the bodies involved, thus playing a…

Velocities of Free Floaters in a Sea of Stars
Jun Yan Lau, Dong Lai
We investigate the velocity evolution of free-floating planets and interstellar objects (``free floaters'') through gravitational scatterings by field stars (with the stellar mass…

A Formation Crisis of Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Events
Zhen Pan, Dong Lai
A number of candidate repeating partial tidal disruption events (rpTDEs) have been reported in recent years. If these events are confirmed, the high fraction of observed rpTDEs amo…
