IMPLICATIONS. “Our study of tidal dissipation in eccentric WD–MBH binaries can be easily adapted to other problems. For instance, WD–WD binaries with extreme eccentricities may be produced in triple systems, which could lead to direct WD–WD collisions and Type Ia supernovae.” (WD = white dwarf; MBH = massive black hole).
