Giant Planet Engulfment by Evolved Giant Stars: Light Curves, Asteroseismology, and Survivability
About ten percent of Sun-like (1–2 M _⊙ ) stars will engulf a 1–10 M _J planet as they expand during the red giant branch (RGB) or asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase of their evolution. Once engulfed, these planets experience a strong drag force in the star’s convective envelope and spiral inward,...
