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},
which uses the who use a theory of
the equilibrium tide first proposed by \citet{zah77} to calculate a timescale for orbit circularization, $\tau_c$, as a star evolves. The total change in eccentricity over a binary's lifetime, $\Delta \ln e$, is found by integrating $1/\tau_c \equiv \rm{d} \ln e / \rm{d}t$:
\begin{equation}\label{circ}
\Delta \ln e = \int_0^t \frac{\rm{d}t'}{\tau_c(t')}.
