Io – Jupiter - A possible Analog for understanding the HD Ab magnetically Interacting Planet-Star System
HD A & Ab HD A has signifcant chromospheric & coronal X-ray emissions. Also the star has starspots covering ~3% of star’s surface that produce brightness variations of up to 2%. The star’s rotation period (11.95 days) and its resulting magnetic dynamo-generated emissions are similar to dK0-5 stars in the Hyades cluster (age ~ 650 Myr). But the age indicators of the dM5 companion indicate a much older age (>5-6 Gyr). Artwork from Tinetti: ESA/NASA
The final fate of HD189733b as it reaches its Roche critical surface. This occurs at an orbital period of ~ 6 hr and at an orbital distance of ~2 stellar radii (i.e. at a = AU).
