A new general normal mode approach to dynamic tides in rotating stars with realistic structure and its applications

We review our recent results on a unified normal mode approach to dynamic tides proposed in Ivanov, Papaloizou $\&$ Chernov (2013) and Chernov, Papaloizou $\&$ Ivanov (2013). Our formalism can be used whenever the tidal interactions are mainly determined by normal modes of a star with identifiable regular spectrum of low frequency modes. We provide in the text basic expressions for tidal energy and angular momentum transfer valid both for periodic and parabolic orbits, and different assumptions about efficiency of normal mode damping due to viscosity and/or non-linear effects and discuss applications to binary stars and close orbiting extrasolar planets.
