... Tidal circularisation of white dwarfs and formation of sources of gravitational waves in globular clusters . ... I point out that a major fraction of white dwarfs tidally captured by the black hole may be destroyed by tidal inflation and rotational break-up during ongoing tidal circularisation, and therefore the formation of tight binaries is inhibited. However, some fraction may survive tidal circularisation through being spun up to high rotation rates where tidal interactions are less effetive. ...
