How Tides Change the Orbit of Binaries and a New Open-Source Code - Meng Sun

Offered By: Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube

Course Description

Overview

Explore the impact of tides on binary system orbits and discover a new open-source code in this 25-minute conference talk from the Building Bridges conference at KITP. Delve into the theory of tides, physics of tidal flow, turbulent viscosity, and radiative damping. Learn about heartbeat stars and gyro-type results. Gain insights into the evolution of circumbinary gas and its influence on embedded binary systems across various astrophysical scales, from stellar binaries to supermassive black holes in galactic nuclei.
