The transiting exoplanet CoRoT-11b and its peculiar tidal evolution [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 CoRoT-11b is a fairly massive hot-Jupiter (Mp = 2.33 ± 0.34 MJup ) in a 3 days orbit around a F6 V star with an age of 2 ± 1 Gyr. The relatively high projected rotational velocity of the star (v sin i⋆ = 40 ± 5 km/s) places CoRoT-11 among the most rapidly rotating planet hosting stars discovered so far.

Tidal Evolution of Exoplanets [PDF]
, 2010 Tidal effects arise from differential and inelastic deformation of a planet by a perturbing body. The continuous action of tides modify the rotation of the planet together with its orbit until an equilibrium situation is reached. It is often believed that synchronous motion is the most probable outcome of the tidal evolution process, since synchronous ...

Colloquium: Physical constraints for the evolution of life on exoplanets [PDF]
Reviews of Modern Physics, 2019 Since the 1990s over 4000 exoplanets have been discovered: which of them could also develop and harbor life? It is posited that the planet must have liquid water, a surrounding atmosphere, and must be both biocompatible and possess the bioessential elements to be habitable.

Magnetic and tidal interactions in spin evolution of exoplanets [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008 AbstractThe axis-rotational evolution of exoplanets on close orbits strongly depends on their magnetic and tidal interactions with the parent stars. Impulsive perturbations from a star created by periodical activity may accumulate with time and lead to significant long-term perturbations of the planet spin evolution.

Tidal evolution of close-in exoplanets in co-orbital configurations [PDF]
Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, 2013 In this paper, we study the behavior of a pair of co-orbital planets, both orbiting a central star on the same plane and undergoing tidal interactions. Our goal is to investigate final orbital configurations of the planets, initially involved in the 1/1 mean-motion resonance (MMR), after long-lasting tidal evolution.

EUV influences on exoplanet atmospheric stability and evolution
, 2019 The planetary effective surface temperature alone is insufficient to characterize exoplanet atmospheres and their stability or evolution. Considering the star-planet system as a whole is necessary, and a critical component of the system is the photoionizing stellar extreme ultraviolet emission (EUV; 100-912 ).

Magnetic Field Evolution of Hot Exoplanets
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical SocietyABSTRACT Numerical simulations have shown that the strength of planetary magnetic fields depends on the convective energy flux emerging from planetary interiors. Here, we model the interior structure of gas giant planets using mesa, to determine the convective energy flux that can drive the generation of magnetic field. This flux is then

True Polar Wander of Lava Worlds
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 As one of the most detectable types of terrestrial planets, lava worlds are highly prioritized targets for exoplanet atmosphere characterization since their atmospheres may reveal what they are made of and how.

Evolution of exoplanets and their parent stars [PDF]
EAS Publications Series, 2014 Studying exoplanets with their parent stars is crucial to understand their population, formation and history. We review some of the key questions regarding their evolution with particular emphasis on giant gaseous exoplanets orbiting close to solar-type stars.
