On the orbital decay of the gas giant Kepler-1658b

publication date15. 11. 2023 (accepted)
Gas giant Kepler-1658 b is slowly spiraling inward due to tidal interactions with its host star. The observed rate of orbital decay cannot be explained by tidal dissipation in the star alone, but it can be explained if the planet rotates non-synchronously
