Further observations in 2002 confirm the synchronous enhancement with the short-period planetary orbit in HD 179949 of Ca II H & K emission we reported one year ago. The enhancement coincides with phase = 0 (the sub-planetary point) of the 3.093-day orbit. The most likely explanation is chromospheric heating by magnetic rather than tidal interaction. The four other 51 Peg-type systems we have monitored continue to show significant nightly variations in their H & K emission but the lack of phase duplication does not allow us to confirm whether the activity is synchronised with the planet's orbit. Our two standards, τ Ceti and the Sun, show no such nightly variation.
