Fig. 1

Schematic view of the system and its interacting entities. The yellow disk represents the radiative zone and the orange shell, the convective envelope. The red arrows represent the loss of angular momentum due to stellar wind. The green arrows correspond to the exchange of angular momentum between the core and the envelope and the blue arrows to the tidal exchange between the envelope and the planetary orbit.
