  2. Orbital Distribution Inclination to stellar equator? get misaligned remain aligned Cumming+08 Hot Jupiters are a Sub-class

  3. Lorb Dissipating the energy of the tidal bulge: In the star’s tidal gravitational field: Lorb The spin vector precesses about the orbit normal A prolate tidal bulge is raised, which tracks the star’s position the spinning planet drags prolate bulge “downstream” • i) Parallelization; || ≈105 yr • ii) Spin synchronization; s=||/2 • iii) Eccentricity damping;≈109 yr Spin-orbit evolution Hot Jupiters are spinning, gaseous bodies with oblate rotational bulges While i, ii, or iii are ongoing, tidal heat is generated in the planet

  4. Cassini States • Now suppose the orbital angular momentum (Lorb) precesses due to a stellar rotational bulge or another planet that is non-coplanar • Then: tidal damping on timescale || produces a stable equilibrium obliquity th 0, called a Cassini state. J Lorb I ? orbit precession rate spin precession rate

  5. J Lorb I ? Moon’s spin Lunation: Cassini's Laws Protate = Porbit constant , Lorb , and J are coplanar

  6. Lorb Settling into Cassini state 2 Oblique Pseudo-synch (Levrard et al. 2007)

  7. Lorb Breaking of Cassini state 2 Tidal heating ends [Gyr]

  9. Planets in Binaries i pericenter   ~40 systems known • On long timescales (secular approx.): • Semimajor axis a is conserved • e oscillates dramatically if icrit<i<180- icrit • icrit=cos-1[(3/5)1/2]=39.2 •  and  both vary as well • Orbital inclination relative to stellar equator (a.k.a. stellar obliquity): • varies for distant planets • constant for hot Jupiters

  10. Citations to Kozai 1962, a paper on asteroids Kozai Cycles Holman, Touma, Tremaine 1997, on 16 Cyg B

  11. Kozai Cycles with Tidal Friction HD 80606b: • Adding… • tidal effects: • time-shifted eq’m bulges • spins: • rotational oblateness • GR precession • Equations from: • Eggleton & Kiseleva-Eggleton, 2001

  12. Theory of Secular Resonance frequency g frequency 

  13. Secular Resonance during Kozai cycles with tidal friction  i HD 80606: 

  14. Theoretical Predictions e.g., Cresswell+07 • Disk migration • Kozai cycles with tidal friction • Planet-planet scattering with tidal friction Fabrycky & Tremaine 07 Nagasawa+08 Also, resonant-pumping (Yu & Tremaine 01, Thommes & Lissauer 03)

  15. Do Tides Realign the Star? Barker & Ogilvie 2009 Only if the planet is in the run-away process of being tidally consumed.
