Features of Gaia DR3 spectroscopic binaries I. Tidal circularization of main-sequence stars

ABSTRACT Previous studies pointed out that many observed samples of short-period binaries display a cut-off period, Pcut, such that almost all binaries with periods shorter than Pcut have circular orbits. This feature is probably due to long-term circularization processes induced by tidal interactio...
