Observational Evidence for Tidal Interaction in Close Binary Systems
This paper reviews the rich corpus of observational evidence for tidal effects, mostly based on photometric and radial-velocity measurements. This is done in a period when the study of binaries is being revolutionized by large-scaled photometric surveys that are detecting many thousands of new binaries and tens of extrasolar planets. We begin by examining the short-term effects, such as ellipso...
متن کاملTidal instability in stellar and planetary binary systems
In this paper, we combine theoretical and experimental approaches to study the tidal instability in planetary liquid cores and stars. We demonstrate that numerous complex modes can be excited depending on the relative values of the orbital angular velocity Ωorbit and of the spinning angular velocity Ωspin, except in a stable range characterized by Ωspin/Ωorbit ∈ [−1; 1/3]. Even if the tidal def...
متن کاملResonant Oscillations and Tidal Heating in Coalescing Binary Neutron Stars
Tidal interaction in a coalescing neutron star binary can resonantly excite the g-mode oscillations of the neutron star when the frequency of the tidal driving force equals the intrinsic g-mode frequencies. We study the g-mode oscillations of cold neutron stars using recent microscopic nuclear equations of state, where we determine self-consistently the sound speed and Brunt-Väisälä frequency i...
متن کاملPeculiar rotation in evolved binary systems: stellar and tidal evolution of TZ Fornacis
Aims. TZ Fornacis is an evolved binary system with an orbital period of 75.7 days and a circular orbit. The two stars have similar masses (2.045± 0.055 and 1.945± 0.027 M ) but very different radii: 8.33± 0.12 and 3.966± 0.088 R . One of its most interesting characteristics is that while the primary rotates synchronously with the mean orbital angular velocity, the secondary is rotating 16 times...
متن کاملTidal heating in Enceladus
The heating in Enceladus in an equilibrium resonant configuration with other saturnian satellites can be estimated independently of the physical properties of Enceladus. We find that equilibrium tidal heating cannot account for the heat that is observed to be coming from Enceladus. Equilibrium heating in possible past resonances likewise cannot explain prior resurfacing events. © 2007 Elsevier ...
