Detailed Description

Star-planet system for which the orbital evolution will be calculated.

Describes the star and the planet, including:

• Star
  • Stellar properties (e.g. radius, moments of inertia, ...) evolving with age.
  • Frequency dependent tidal dissipation efficiency
  • Coupled rotational evolution of a radiative core and a convective envelope (for low mass stars only).
  • Loss of angular momentum due to wind
  • Having initial surface rotation locked to a proto-planetary disk
• Planet
  • Various orbital properties
  • Rate of tidal decay and its derivatives with respect to age and system or orbital parameters, as well as the torque exerted on the star due to the tidal dissipation.
