Tidal dissipation in evolving low-mass and solar-type stars with predictions for planetary orbital decay

AJ Barker - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 - academic.oup.com
We study tidal dissipation in stars with masses in the range 0.1–1.6 M⊙ throughout their
evolution, including turbulent effective viscosity acting on equilibrium tides and inertial …

WASP-121 b: a hot Jupiter close to tidal disruption transiting an active F star

L Delrez, A Santerne, JM Almenara… - Monthly Notices of …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
We present the discovery by the WASP-South survey of WASP-121 b, a new remarkable
short-period transiting hot Jupiter. The planet has a mass of M Jup, a radius of 1.865±0.044 …

Departure from the constant-period ephemeris for the transiting exoplanet WASP-12 b

G Maciejewski, D Dimitrov, M Fernández… - Astronomy & …, 2016 - aanda.org
Aims. Most hot Jupiters are expected to spiral in toward their host stars because the angular
momentum of the orbital motion is transferred to the stellar spin. Their orbits can also …

HATS-6b: a warm Saturn transiting an early M dwarf star, and a set of empirical relations for characterizing K and M dwarf planet hosts

JD Hartman, D Bayliss, R Brahm… - The Astronomical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We report the discovery by the HATSouth survey of HATS-6b, an extrasolar planet transiting
a V= 15.2 mag, i= 13.7 mag M1V star with a mass of 0.57${{M} _ {\odot}} $ and a radius of …

Orbital decay of hot jupiters due to nonlinear tidal dissipation within solar-type hosts

R Essick, NN Weinberg - The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the orbital evolution of hot Jupiters due to the excitation and dam** of tidally
driven g-modes within solar-type host stars. Linearly resonant g-modes (the dynamical tide) …
