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.

Thermal and Orbital Evolution of Low-mass Exoplanets [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 Abstract The thermal, orbital, and rotational dynamics of tidally loaded exoplanets are interconnected by intricate feedback. The rheological structure of the planet determines its susceptibility to tidal deformation and, as a consequence, participates in shaping its orbit.

Tidal evolution of close-in exoplanets and host stars
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 ABSTRACT The evolution of exoplanetary systems with a close-in planet is ruled by the tides mutually raised on the two bodies and by the magnetic braking of the host star. This paper deals with consequences of this evolution and some features that can be observed in the distribution of the systems' two main periods: the orbital period

Obliquity Evolution of the Potentially Habitable Exoplanet Kepler-62f [PDF]
Astrobiology, 2020 Variations in the axial tilt, or obliquity, of terrestrial planets can affect their climates and therefore their habitability. Kepler-62f is a 1.4 R ⊕ planet orbiting within the habitable zone of its K2 dwarf host star.

The Evolution of Atmospheric Escape of Highly Irradiated Gassy Exoplanets
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2021 AbstractAtmospheric escape has traditionally been observed using hydrogen Lyman-α transits, but more recent detections utilise the metastable helium triplet lines at 1083nm. Capable of being observed from the ground, this helium signature offers new possibilities for studying atmospheric escape.

Solar System Research, 2010 After the discovery of more than 400 planets beyond our Solar System, the characterization of exoplanets as well as their host stars can be considered as one of the fastest growing fields in space science during the past decade. The characterization of exoplanets can only be carried out in a well coordinated interdisciplinary way which connects ...

, 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 ...
