The physical shape of a giant planet orbiting close to its star offers a unique window into its internal composition. Intense gravitational pull from the host star stretches these planets, causing measurable deformations. These distortions are calculated using a value called the fluid Love number, which describes how a planet responds to external gravitational stress. By measuring this number, researchers can better understand how matter is distributed deep within a planet and test different mod...
