Orbital Decay of Hot Jupiters due to Weakly Nonlinear Tidal Dissipation

Nevin N. Weinberg, Niyousha Davachi, Reed Essick +3

We study tidal dissipation in hot Jupiter host stars due to the nonlinear damping of tidally driven $g$-modes, extending the calculations of Essick & Weinberg (2016) to a wide vari…
