Scientific paper

A light, distant companion prevents the complete circularization of the orbit of a binary system by inducing a long-term eccentricity modulation. When sizable eccentricity-sensitive tidal dissipation exists between the close pair of stars, the third companion may thus bring the pair even closer to each other during a nuclear evolution timescale. In mass transfer binaries this provides a further mechanism for bringing the stars to Roche Lobe distances.
