Tides in the High-eccentricity Migration of Hot Jupiters: Triggering Diffusive Growth by Nonlinear Mode Interactions
Abstract High-eccentricity migration is a possible formation channel for hot Jupiters. However, in order for it to be consistent with the observed population of planets, tides must circularize the orbits in an efficient manner. A potential mechanism for such rapid circularization is the diffusive growth of the tidally driven planetary …
