Scientific paper

The confirmed exoplanets CoRoT-7b and Kepler-10b have motivated us to investigate their interior structure, thermal state, and tidal evolution. Comparable large mean densities p of (9.7±1.9) for CoRoT-7b and (8.8±2.5) Mg m-3 for Kepler-10b suggest that both planets have a rocky bulk composition. Both planets are expected to be in synchronous rotation and subject to tidal forces due to proximity to their primaries [1].
