Mass Transfer in Eccentric Black Hole–Neutron Star Mergers

Black hole–neutron star binaries are of interest in many ways: they are intrinsically transient, radiate gravitational waves detectable by LIGO, and may produce γ -ray bursts. Although it has long been assumed that their late-stage orbital evolution is driven entirely by gravitational wave emission,...
