Strength of equilibrium tidal dissipation in our models as a function of the tidal frequency for a binary with initial mass M1,ZAMS = M2,ZAMS = 1 M⊙, metallicity Z = 0.02, and initial orbital period Porb,ZAMS = 1 day. The blue and red points are computed by plugging ν from Equations (A1) and (A2) in Equation (21), respectively. Each scatter point represents a time step in COMPAS.
