Recovery of the tides from dynamical friction for the fiducial case (see Table 2 for numeric characterisation of the recovery). Each panel shows one component of the tides. The ratio of residuals and uncertainty are shown in Fig. 7. The uncertainty (green corridor) was evaluated from the summing in Eqs. (2) and (1) in the recovery case (green line). We note that the uncertainty is not normally distributed. The blue line shows the actual value.
