orbital shrinking in which a planet's or binary's eccentricity is pumped by a distant companion and tides at close approach then circularize the orbit.

In planetary science, high-eccentricity migration refers to orbital shrinking in which a planet's or binary's eccentricity is pumped by a distant companion and tides at close approach then circularize the orbit. This meaning comes from Fabrycky (2007) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
