Tidal Dissipation in WASP-12
WASP-12 is a hot Jupiter system with an orbital period of P = 1.1 days, making it one of the shortest-period giant planets known. Recent transit timing observations by Maciejewski et al. and Patra et al. found a decreasing period with = 3.2 Myr. This has been interpreted as evidence of either orbita...
