Tidal interactions between planets and stars
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical PhysicsSelwyn College, 2011-06-07)Since the first discovery of an extrasolar planet around a solar-type star, observers have detected over 500 planets outside the solar system. Many of these planets have Jovian masses and orbit their host stars in orbits ...
