We calculate tidal torque due to semi-diurnal thermal tides in rotating hot Jupiters, taking account of the effects of radiative cooling in the envelope and of the planets rotation on the tidal responses. We use a simple Jovian model…

In binaries composed of either early-type stars or white dwarfs, the dominant tidal process involves the excitation of internal gravity waves (IGWs), which propagate towards the stellar surface, and their dissipation via nonlinear wave…

We revisit the global modes and instabilities of homogeneous rotating ellipsoidal fluid masses, which are the simplest global models of rotationally and tidally deformed gaseous planets or stars. The tidal flow in a short-period planet may…

Stars in close binaries are tidally distorted, and this has a strong effect on their pulsation modes. We compute the mode frequencies and geometries of tidally distorted stars using perturbation theory, accounting for the effects of the…

Hot Jupiters on extremely short-period orbits are expected to be unstable to tidal dissipation and spiral toward their host stars. That is because they transfer the angular momentum of the orbital motion through tidal dissipation into the…

We explore how thermal Rossby waves propagate within the gravitationally stratified atmosphere of a low-mass star with an outer convective envelope. Under the conditions of slow, rotationally constrained dynamics, we derive a local…

Asteroseismology has reached a level of accuracy that may allow us to detect the effect of a deep magnetic field on oscillation modes. We thus aim to develop an asymptotic theory for short-wavelength waves in radiative zones of rotating…

We calculate the excitation of low frequency gravity waves by turbulent convection in the sun and the effect of the angular momentum carried by these waves on the rotation profile of the sun's radiative interior. We find that the gravity…
