Tidal dissipation in stars and giant planets
GI Ogilvie - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2014 - annualreviews.org
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 …

Strong tidal dissipation in Io and Jupiter from astrometric observations
V Lainey, JE Arlot, Ö Karatekin, T Van Hoolst - Nature, 2009 - nature.com
Io is the volcanically most active body in the Solar System and has a large surface heat flux,,.
The geological activity is thought to be the result of tides raised by Jupiter, but it is not known …

Detection of the tidal deformation of WASP-103b at 3 σ with CHEOPS
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 …
