Tidal factor fe in the expression of the eccentricity derivative (Eq. (14)) as a function of the orbital obliquity ψ, the angle between the orbital and stellar rotational plane, measured from the stellar equator, for an equatorial orbit EO (ψ = 0), and for a polar orbit PO (ψ = 90°).

Case General expression EO PO
P < 1/2 P*
P = 1/2 P*
1/2 P* < P < P*
P = P* +7
P* < P < 3/2 P*
P = 3/2 P*
3/2 P* < P < 2P*
P = 2P*
2P* < P < 3P*
P = 3P*
P > 3P*
