[Mesa-users] "Orb_period" Reference

[Gökhan Yücel]

Hello Prof. Timmes,

Yes, I'm aware that it synchronize on timescale of orbital period as stated
in here,

https://docs.mesastar.org/en/24.08.1/reference/binary_controls.html#rotation-and-sync-controls

I just wanted to learn which formula it uses based on, which reference,
etc.

There is not much explanation in "binary_tides.f90" file.

Gökhan.
