Astrophysical fluid bodies that orbit close to one another induce tidal distortions and flows
that are subject to dissipative processes. The spin and orbital motions undergo a coupled …

This paper reviews the rich corpus of observational evidence for tidal effects, mostly based
on photometric and radial-velocity measurements. This is done in a period when the study of …

We carried out a Bayesian homogeneous determination of the orbital parameters of 231
transiting giant planets (TGPs) that are alone or have distant companions; we employed …

We study tidal dissipation in stars with masses in the range 0.1–1.6 M⊙ throughout their
evolution, including turbulent effective viscosity acting on equilibrium tides and inertial …

The inner moons of Jupiter and Saturn migrate outwards due to tidal energy dissipation
within the planets, the details of which remain poorly understood. We demonstrate that …

We present new transit and occultation times for the hot Jupiter WASP-12b. The data are
compatible with a constant period derivative: $\dot {P}=-29\pm 3$ ms yr $^{-1} $ and $ P/\dot …

We present numerical simulations of internal gravity waves (IGW) in a star with a convective
core and extended radiative envelope. We report on amplitudes, spectra, dissipation, and …

Neptune-sized planets exhibit a wide range of compositions and densities, depending on
factors related to their formation and evolution history, such as the distance from their host …

The distribution of eccentricities e of extrasolar planets with semimajor axes a> 0.2 AU is
very uniform, and values for e are relatively large, averaging 0.3 and broadly distributed up …

Context. Ultra-short period planets undergo strong tidal interactions with their host star which
lead to planet deformation and orbital tidal decay. Aims. WASP-103b is the exoplanet with …
