Tides in Massive Binaries: Numerical Solutions and Semi-Analytical Comparisons
Meng Sun, Hongbo Xia, Seth Gossage +5
We present a systematic comparison between the tidal secular evolution timescales predicted by the direct numerical method and those given by the commonly used semi-analytic prescr…

Numerical Non-Adiabatic Tidal Calculations with GYRE-tides: The WASP-12 Test Case
Meng Sun, Richard H. D. Townsend, Hongbo Xia +1
We revisit the tidal evolution of the WASP-12 system using direct numerical calculations with the GYRE-tides code. WASP-12b is a hot Jupiter on a 1.1-day orbit around a slightly ev…
