Evolution of rotation in binaries: physical processes
Abstract
In this review, we describe the physical processes driving the dynamical evolution of binary stars, namely the circularization of the orbit and the synchronization of their spin and orbital rotation. We also discuss the possible role of the elliptic instability which turns out to be an unavoidable ingredient of the evolution of binary stars.
