\subsection{Stellar evolution and tidal forces}\label{tides}
INTRODUCE MESA

WRITE SOMETHING ABOUT
RG MASS LOSS, WHICH ISN'T VERY WELL UNDERSTOOD.
To estimate how tidal forces may affect the orbital eccentricity, we follow the approach of \citet{ver95}, a study of tidal circularization in binaries containing giant stars. A CLEARER INTRODUCTION/OVERVIEW OF THAT WORK
NEEDS TO WILL GO HERE. We consider a detached binary with constant $a$ and constant binary masses. Equations 5 and 6 \citep{ver95} state:
\begin{equation}\label{tide1}
\Delta \ln e = -1.7 \times 10^{-5} \ f \ {\left( \frac{M}{M_{\odot}} \right)}^{-11/3} \ q(1+q)^{-5/3} \ I(t) {\left( \frac{P_{\rm{orb}}}{\rm{day}} \right)}^{-16/3},
...
The fact that only one star is oscillating points to how tidal activity may affect oscillations.
Important for other people because over half of cool stars should be in binaries! Using RGs to probe the galaxy has to be done carefully because of external influences of binarity on oscillations.}
