Planet formation, orbital evolution and planet-star tidal interaction
arXiv:astro-ph/9809200
Abstract
We consider several processes operating during the late stages of planet formation that can affect observed orbital elements. Disk-planet interactions, tidal interactions with the central star, long term orbital instability and the Kozai mechanism are discussed.
