The interaction between the host star and planets has a significant
role in shaping the evolution of the planetary system. The dissipation of
tides and the consequent exchange of angular momentum between star and
planets may significantly impact their orbits and modify the architecture of
the system. The emission of high-energy stellar radiation is directly linked
to the stellar rotation rate and its role in determining the efficiency of
planetary atmospheric evaporation represents a key process suitable to
explain some peculiar features observed in the population of detected
exoplanets. In this context, the rotational history of the host star plays a
key role. In our work, we aim at having an as detailed as possible
characterisation of the host star of the system provided by thorough
asteroseismic modelling (when available). Rotating models of the host star
are then computed by accounting for a comprehensive treatment of angular
momentum transport by hydrodynamic and magnetic instabilities. We explore a
range of initial surface rotation rates representative of slow, medium and
fast rotators, accounting for the degeneracy on the stellar rotational
history. We finally study the interaction between star and planet, by
coupling the host star model to our orbital evolution code, simultaneously
following the impact of tides and atmospheric evaporation. We present recent
results found in the context of the TOI-849 and Kepler-444 systems.
