Abstract
We present an updated prescription for the equilibrium tides suitable for
population synthesis codes. A grid of 1D evolutionary models was created and
the viscous time-scale was calculated for each detailed model. A metallicity
dependent power-law relation was fitted to both the convective cores and
convective envelopes of the models. The prescription was implemented into the
population synthesis code BSE and predicts an 16.5% reduction in the overall
number of merges, with those involving main-sequence stars most affected. The
new prescription also reduces the overall supernova rate by 3.6% with
individual channels being differently affected. The single degenerate Ia
supernova occurrence is reduced by 12.8%. The merging of two Carbon Oxygen
white dwarfs to cause a Ia supernova occurs 16% less frequently. The number of
sub-synchronously rotating stars in close binaries is substantially increased
with our prescription, as is the number of non-circularized systems at the
start of common-envelope evolution.

The current recommendation prototype on the Apollo Repository will be turned off on 03 February 2023. Although the pilot has been fruitful for both parties, the service provider IKVA is focusing on horizon scanning products and so the recommender service can no longer be supported. We recognise the importance of recommender services in supporting research discovery and are evaluating offerings from other service providers.
