Tidal effects on Hot Jupiters

BIG AREA: Ciências Exatas e da Terra
AREA: Física
SUMMARY:

Tides are direct consequences of the gravitational interaction between celestial bodies. In the Earth context, the tidal interaction in the Earth-Moon system is directly
observed in both increasing or decreasing of the oceanic level, once our planet’s surface is mostly covered by water. However, the discovery of gas giants exopla-
nets in close-in orbits around their host stars (called hot jupiters), made us question what would be the consequences of such extreme tides. In this master’s thesis,
we use the tidal evolution equations (both lonely and together with the stellar magnetic braking equations) to simulate how the presence of hot jupiters around
main sequence stars with masses in the range 0.5 M ⊙ < M ⋆ < 1.1 M ⊙ , affects both planetary orbits and host star’s rotation.
