Scientific paper

The engulfing of planets by their parent stars is an inevitable outcome of stellar evolution in the red giant branch or asymptotic giant branch phase. I will examine the effects of planet ``swallowing'' on the evolution of late-type stars. In particular, the effects on stellar rotation, activity, Lithium surface abundance, and mass loss will be investigated. I will use the existing samples of extrasolar planets to estimate the fraction of solar-type stars that will be significantly affected by the presence of planetary companions.
