A Short History of (Orbital) Decay: Roman’s Prospects for Detecting Dying Planets
The Astronomical JournalThe Roman Space Telescope Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS) is expected to detect ∼10 ^5 transiting planets. Many of these planets will have short orbital periods and are thus susceptible to tidal decay.

Numerical Nonadiabatic Tidal Calculations with GYRE-tides: The WASP-12 Test Case
The Astrophysical Journal LettersWe revisit the tidal evolution of the WASP-12 system using direct numerical calculations with the GYRE-tides code. WASP-12b is a hot Jupiter on a 1.1 day orbit around a slightly evolved F-type star. Its observed orbital decay rate, $| {\dot{P}}_{{\rm{orb}

The Astrophysical JournalWe analyze four super-Earth exoplanets, LHS 1140 b, K2-18 b, TOI-1452 b, and TOI-1468 c, which orbit M dwarf stars in the habitable zone. Their relative proximity, within 40 pc, makes them prime candidates for follow-up observations and atmospheric and ...

Are Hot Jupiters Tidally Disrupted During Stellar Main Sequence?
The Astronomical JournalOnce hot Jupiters (HJs) reach their very close orbits, they are expected to experience orbital decay due to tidal interactions with their host star. However, the strength of tidal dissipation is highly uncertain, and it remains an open question whether ...

Damping Obliquities of Hot Jupiter Hosts by Resonance Locking
The Astrophysical Journal LettersWhen orbiting hotter stars, hot Jupiters are often highly inclined relative to their host star equator planes. By contrast, hot Jupiters orbiting cooler stars are more aligned.

Tidal Synchronization Trapping in Stars and Planets with Convective Envelopes
The Astrophysical JournalTidal torques can alter the spins of tidally interacting stars and planets, usually over shorter timescales than the tidal damping of orbital separations or eccentricities.

Whewell’s Tidal Researches: Scientific Practise and Philosophical Methodology [PDF]
, 2009 Primarily between 1833 and 1840, Whewell attempted to accomplish what natural philosophers and scientists since at least Galileo had failed to do: to provide a systematic and broad-ranged study of the tides and to attempt to establish a general ...

The Astrophysical JournalThe period distribution of hot gaseous exoplanets depends strongly on mass. Clustering between the orbital periods of ∼3 to ∼5–6 days is seen for sub-Saturns (“Neptune ridge”) and Jovians (“hot-Jupiter pileup”), contrasting with a sharp deficit interior ...
