29. Note that for the case where the star expands, we stopped the computation when the surface of the star reached the outer boundary of numerical grid. Since the star is gravitationally bound, the star ultimately has to recontract and collapse.

37. For stiffer equations of state with higher Γ, the bulk of the mass would suffer greater tidal distortion at the same separation. Our near-equilibrium spherical approximation would require larger orbital separations, and hence more numerical resolution, to be as reliable in these cases.
