Circularization and synchronization times in the main sequence of detached eclipsing binaries.I. Using the formalism by Tassoul.
We have studied a sample of selected eclipsing binaries with eccentric orbits and accurate absolute dimensions in order to analyse the validity of available theories of tidal evolution concerning synchronization and circularization time scales. In the present investigation we pay special attention to stars with radiative envelopes though some stars
