TLDR
In this paper, the average and maximum value of the range of dissipation are equivalent to the linear and quadratic dissipation models of Sasselov (2003) for OGLE-TR-56 b.Abstract:
Close-in extrasolar planets experience extreme tidal interactions with their host stars. This may lead to a reduction of the planetary orbit and a spin-up of stellar rotation. Tidal interactions have been computed for a number of extrasolar planets in circular orbits within 0.06 AU, namely for OGLE-TR-56 b. We compare our range of the tidal dissipation value with two dissipation models from Sasselov (2003) and conclude that our choices are equivalent to these models. However, applied to the planet OGLE-TR-56 b, we find in contrast to Sasselov (2003) that this planet will spiral-in toward the host star in a few billion years. We show that the average and maximum value of our range of dissipation are equivalent to the linear and quadratic dissipation models of Sasselov (2003). Due to limitations in the observational techniques, we do not see a possibility to distinguish between the two dissipation models as outlined by Sasselov (2003). OGLE-TR-56 b may therefore not serve as a test case for dissipation models. The probable existence of OGLE-TR-3 b at 0.02 AU and the discovery of OGLE-TR-113 b at 0.023 AU and OGLE-TR-132 b at 0.03 AU may also counter Sasselovs (2003) assumption of a pile-up stopping boundary at 0.04 AU.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the discovery of very shallow (ΔF/F ≈ 3.4× 10 −4 ) periodic dips in the light curve of an active V = 11.7 G9V star observed by the CoRoT satellite, which they interpret as caused by a transiting companion.

TL;DR: Either WASP-18 is in a rare, exceptionally short-lived state, or the tidal dissipation in this system (and possibly other hot-Jupiter systems) must be much weaker than in the Solar System.

TL;DR: Theoretical models have now reached enough maturity to predict the characteristic properties of these new worlds, mass, radius, atmospheric signatures, and can be confronted with available observations as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the first planet discovered by CoRoT and characterizing it with the help of follow-up observations was reported, and the orbital parameters and the radius of the planet were estimated by best fitting the phase folded light curve with 34 successive transits.

Falling transiting extrasolar giant planets
TL;DR: In this article, the authors revisited the tidal stability of extrasolar systems harboring a transiting planet and demonstrated that none but one (HAT-P-2b) of these planets has a tidal equilibrium state, which implies ultimately a collision of these objects with their host star.
