Tidal dissipation within hot Jupiters: a new appraisal

Eccentricity or obliquity tides have been proposed as the missing energy source that may explain the anomalously large radius of some transiting ''hot Jupiters''. To maintain a non-zero and large obliquity, it was argued that the planets can be locked in a Cassini state, i.e. a r...
