The tidal excitation of r modes in a solar type star orbited by a giant planet companion and the effect on orbital evolution I: The aligned case
arXiv:2302.00473 · doi:10.1093/mnras/stad358
Abstract
It has been suggested that tidal interaction is important for shaping the orbital configurations of close orbiting giant planets. The excitation of propagating waves and normal modes (dynamical tide) will be important for estimating time scales for orbital evolution. We consider the tidal interaction of a Jupiter mass planet orbiting a solar type primary. Tidal and rotational frequencies are assumed comparable making the effect of rotation important. Although centrifugal distortion is neglected, Coriolis forces are fully taken into account. We focus in detail on the potentially resonant excitation of modes associated with spherical harmonics of degrees three and five. These are mostly sited in the radiative core but with a significant response in the convective envelope where dissipation occurs. Away from resonance significant orbital evolution over the system lifetime is unlikely. However, tidal interaction is enhanced near resonances and the orbital evolution accelerated as they are passed through. This speed up may be sustained if near resonance can be maintained. For close orbits with primaries rotating sufficiently rapidly, this could arise from angular momentum loss and stellar spin down through a stellar wind bringing about significant orbital evolution over the system lifetime.
