Abstract
⺠The long-term orbital effects of a non-isotropic mass loss of an exoplanet orbiting its parent star are analytically worked out. ⺠The analytical results are confirmed by numerical integrations of the equations of motion. ⺠a,Ï,M change. e, I, Ω do not change. ⺠|mË|â²1017kgyr-1, i.e. |mË/m|â²10-10yr-1 for a Jupiter-like planet, yields aËâ¼2.5m yr-1 for orbits with a = 0.05 AU.
