Limits on Eccentricity Excitation by Tidally Enhanced Mass Loss in Wolf–Rayet Binaries

Wolf–Rayet (WR) binaries frequently display high orbital eccentricities, and their eccentricity distributions are inconsistent with those of high-mass Galactic field binaries at high significance. This raises the question of whether these eccentricities are primordial or generated during the WR phase. We test whether a...
