Characteristic periods as a function of the age of the system for stellar masses between 0.4 and 1.4 M. In dark gray we plot the region corresponding to tidal frequencies greater than Nmax, for which no propagation of gravity waves is allowed. The colored areas correspond to orbital periods that are likely to excite progressive waves (with frequencies ω < ωc) for each stellar mass. In purple we show typical values corresponding to the Roche limit. The dashed black line corresponds to an orbital period of one day.
