abstract
The 4.2-day orbit of the newly discovered planet around 51~Pegasi is formally unstable to tidal dissipation. However, the orbital decay time in this system is longer than the main-sequence lifetime of the central star. Given our best current understanding of tidal interactions, a planet of Jupiter's mass around a solar-like star could have dynamically survived in an orbit with a period as short as $\sim10\,$hr. Since radial velocities increase with decreasing period, we would expect to find those planets close to the tidal limit first and, unless this is a very unusual system, we would expect to find many more. We also consider the tidal stability of planets around more evolved stars and we re-examine in particular the question of whether the Earth can dynamically survive the red-giant phase in the evolution of the Sun.

Unraveling the Mystery of the Peculiar and Young Hot Jupiter CoRoT-2b II: Phase Resolved Emission Spectroscopy with VLT/CRIRES+ and Gemini-S/IGRINS
Phase-resolved high-resolution spectroscopy of CoRoT-2b measures sub-synchronous rotation at 2.6-sigma significance, consistent with its western hotspot offset.

The IACOB project XIX. Revisiting massive-star evolution with empirical TAMS constraints: updated models, overshoot calibration, and the population of blue supergiants
Massive-star models require mass-dependent core overshoot (α_ov ≈ 0.18–0.45) to match the empirical TAMS, but still fail to explain the velocity dependence of the TAMS and the observed blue supergiant population.

Planet-Planet Secular Migration Predicts a Stellar Obliquity-Period Anti-Correlation
Simulations show that von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai migration from inclined companions produces misaligned short-period hot Jupiters while coplanar high-eccentricity migration preserves alignment at longer periods.

Observing a 542-day transiting giant with large TTVs: The 2025 transit of HIP 41378 f and new constraints on the outer system
New 2025 transit timing of HIP 41378 f shows a 7-hour early arrival consistent with TTVs; N-body modeling with TRADES refines ephemerides for planets d, e, and f.

Observing a 542-day transiting giant with large TTVs: The 2025 transit of HIP 41378 f and new constraints on the outer system
New 2025 transit timing for HIP 41378 f confirms large TTVs and is combined with prior data on planets d and e in an N-body model to update ephemerides and predict future transits.

The fate of Earth during the Sun's giant phases: New constraints from ab initio tidal modelling and AGB mass loss
Updated ab initio tidal models predict Earth survives the Sun's giant phases, but outcomes depend strongly on AGB mass-loss rates, with L2 Pup observations as proxy indicating survival while low rates lead to engulfment.

Modern tidal interaction models for rapid binary population synthesis: II. Binary black hole formation, mergers, and spins
Simulations with a new tidal model in COMPAS predict that merging binary black holes from isolated evolution are strongly biased to low effective spins, with one third below 0.05 and only 3% above 0.5, but the high-sp...
