abstract

Motivated by the identification of the very close-in extrasolar giant planet OGLE-TR-56b, we explore the implications of its existence on problems of tidal dissipation, planet migration, and atmospheric stability. The small orbit of OGLE-TR-56b makes the planet an interesting test particle case for tidal dissipation in stellar convection zones. We show that it favors prescriptions of suppressed convective eddy viscosity. Precise timing of the transits of OGLE-TR-56b might place interesting constraints on stellar convection theory, if orbital period change is detected in the near future.
