Extended Data Fig. 6: Effect of star-planet tidal interactions on the outer planets in the Trappist-1 system.

From: An upper limit on late accretion and water delivery in the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanet system

Extended Data Fig. 6

Left panel: Evolution of the stellar radius with time (given as t − tinit, where tinit = 3 Myr). Right panel: map showing the values of \({{\mathrm{log}}}\,{{\Delta }}| a|\) as a function of the stellar dissipation and time. The stellar dissipation is given with respect to a fiducial value corresponding to a fully convective star or brown dwarf.
