A Novel Method to Constrain Tidal Quality Factor from A Nonsynchronized Exoplanetary System

We propose a novel method to constrain the tidal quality factor, $Q^{\prime} $ , from an observed nonsynchronized star–planet system consisting of a slowly rotating low-mass star and a close-in Jovian planet, taking into account the coevolution of stellar spin and planetary orbit due to the tidal in...
