    • 2016, Roman R. Rafikov, “On the Eccentricity Excitation in Post-Main Sequence Binaries”, in arXiv[1]:
      Compared to previous studies we (1) fully account for the viscous spreading of the circumbinary disk, (2) consider the possibility of reaccretion from the disk onto the binary (in agreement with simulations and empirical evidence), and (3) allow for the reduced viscosity after the disk expands, cools, and forms dust.
