Evolution of the orbital distance of a Jupiter mass planet with different initial semi-major axis (top panel), the stellar rotation period (middle panel) and the stellar dissipation factor (bottom panel) during the evolved phases (sub-giant and early RGB) of a 1.0 M_⊙ (left) and 1.2 M_⊙ (right) star. Top panel: the orbital distance of the planet is represented in full coloured lines. The full black lines correspond to the co-rotation distance (P_orb = P_⋆), and the dotted black lines to P_orb = 0.5 P_⋆ delimiting the region where the dynamical tide operates. The long dashed black line corresponds to the Roche limit and the dashed-dotted line to the stellar radius. Middle panel: the surface rotation period (in days) of the host star. Bottom panel: the stellar dissipation . The time on the x-axis is given from an initial time t_init, which corresponds to the time of the protoplanetary disc dispersal. This initial time is taken to be 5 Myr.
