Tides in asynchronous binary systems

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: Context.Stellar oscillations are excited in non-synchronously rotating stars in binary systems due to the tidal forces. Tangential components of the tides can drive a shear flow which behaves as a differentially forced rotating structure in a stratified outer medium.
