From \citet{ver95}, the timescale $\tau_c$ on which orbital circularization occurs is given by
\begin{equation}
\frac{1}{\tau_c} \equiv \frac{\rm{d} \ln e}{\rm{d}t} \simeq -1.7 f
{\left( \frac{T_{\rm{eff}}}{4500 \rm{K}}
\right)^{4/3} \right)}^{4/3} \left( \frac{M_{\rm{env}}}{M_{\odot}} \right) \frac{M_{\odot}}{M} \frac{M_2}{M} \frac{M+M_2}{M} \left( \frac{R}{a} \right)^8 \ \rm{yr}^{-1},
\end{equation}
where $f$ is a dimensionless factor of order unity, $M$, $L$, and $R$ are the mass, luminosity, and radius of a giant star with dissipative tides, $M_{\rm{env}}$ is the mass of its convective envelope, $M_2$ is the mass of the companion star, and $a$ is the semi-major axis of the binary orbit.
