Dynamical tide in stellar radiative zones. General formalism and evolution for low-mass stars
J. Ahuir, S. Mathis, L. Amard
Abstract
Context. Most exoplanets detected so far are close-in planets, which are likely to be affected by tidal dissipation in their host star. To obtain a complete picture of the evolution of star–planet systems, we need to consider the effect of tides within stellar radiative and convective zones.
