Resumen
We investigate the motion of a two-planet coplanar system under the combined effects of mutual interaction and tidal dissipation. The secular behavior of the system is analyzed using two different approaches, restricting to the case of a more massive outer planet. First, we solve the exact equations of motion through the numerical simulation of the system evolution. We also compute the stationary solutions of the mean equations of motion based on a Hamiltonian formalism. An application to the real system CoRoT-7 is investigated.
