Updated tidal diagram of the 231 transiting giant planets considered in this study. Empty circles show the position of giant planets with well-determined circular orbits, that is with eccentricities consistent with zero and 1σ uncertainty σe< 0.05 (planets designated with “C” in the second column of Table 9); crosses indicate planets with undetermined eccentricities (indicated with “U” in Table 9) that are usually consistent with zero (circular orbits) but have large uncertainties σe> 0.05; orange triangles display significant but small eccentricities, i.e. e< 0.1; and blue squares e ≥ 0.1. Solid and dashed lines show the position of a planet with Rp = 1.2 RJup and semi-major axis a = aR and a = 2aR, aR being the Roche limit. The dotted line displays the 1 Gyr circularisation isochrone for P = 3 d, , and e = 0.
