Discrepant Approaches to Modeling Stellar Tides and the Blurring of Pseudosynchronization
We examine the reasons for discrepancies between two alternative approaches to modeling small-amplitude tides in binary systems. The direct solution (DS) approach solves the governing differential equations and boundary conditions directly, while the modal decomposition (MD) approach relies on a nor...
