Dynamical Tides in Compact White Dwarf Binaries: Helium Core White Dwarfs, Tidal Heating, and Observational Signatures
Jim Fuller, Dong Lai
Tidal dissipation in compact white dwarf (WD) binary systems significantly influences the physical conditions (such as surface temperature and rotation rate) of the WDs prior to ma…

Tidally Induced Oscillations and Orbital Decay in Compact Triple-Star Systems
Jim Fuller, Aliz Derekas, Tamas Borkovits +3
We investigate the nature of tidal effects in compact triple-star systems. The hierarchical structure of a triple system produces tidal forcing at high frequencies unobtainable in…

Tidal Novae in Compact Binary White Dwarfs
Jim Fuller, Dong Lai
Compact binary white dwarfs (WDs) undergoing orbital decay due to gravitational radiation can experience significant tidal heating prior to merger. In these WDs, the dominant tidal…
