Tidal evolution of Jupiter-mass planets of different initial orbital distance around either a rapidly rotating or a slowly rotating 1   M star with a large dissipation factor. Top panel: the colored lines represent the semi-major axis of the planets. Solid lines correspond to an initially fast-rotating star and dashed dotted lines to an initially slow-rotating star. The red curves represent the corotation radius assuming no planet. Middle panel: evolution of the stellar rotation period. Bottom panel: evolution of the equatorial velocity of the star. In the middle and bottom panels, a red full circle represents the Sun’s present rotation, and the red curves correspond to stars with no planets.
