WIYN Open Cluster Study: Tidal Interactions in Solar type Binaries
read the original abstract
We present an ongoing study on tidal interactions in late-type close binary stars. New results on tidal circularization are combined with existing data to test and constrain theoretical predictions of tidal circularization in the pre-main-sequence (PMS) phase and throughout the main-sequence phase of stellar evolution. Current data suggest that tidal circularization during the PMS phase sets the tidal cutoff period for binary populations younger than ~1 Gyr. Binary populations older than ~1 Gyr show increasing tidal cutoff periods with age, consistent with active main-sequence tidal circularization.
