        For a system consisting of a star and a single planet in a circular orbit
        aligned with the stellar rotation, calculate the evolution of the semimajor
        axis and the rotation of the star. If the star has a mass below 1.1 solar
        masses, the rotation of the radiative core and the convective envelope are
        evolved separately. The following physics is included:
            * The evolution of the semimajor axis of the orbit due to the tidal
              dissipation in the star.
            * The evolution of the angular momentum of the stellar convective
              envelope by the tidal coupling.
            * The transfer of angular momentum between the stellar convective and
              radiative zones.
            * The effect of the stellar evolution on the tidal dissipation
              efficiency, and stellar core and envelope spins.
            * The loss of stellar convective zone angular momentum to a magnetically
              launched wind.
