Description
In recent years, close hierarchical triples have been shown to be increasingly important when it comes to understanding many astrophysical phenomena, including but not limited to SNe Ia and BBHs. However, our understanding of them is yet incomplete. This talk will focus on a recently-discovered tidal process that is active in these systems, and its implications on stellar evolution will be discussed.
