a) Expected tidal deformation of USPs parametrized as a (R1 − R3)/R1 as a function of Porb/PRoche. Here the planets are approximated as compressed ellipsoids with primary axes radii of R1, R2, and R3, where R1 is the radius of the planet pointing toward the star, and R3 is the radius along the orbit normal. We see that TOI-2431 b is among some of the most tidally distorted USP planets. b) Roche limit timescales of USPs as a function of Porb/PRoche. The latter indicates the proximity to the Roche limit, and the former indicates the timescale to reaching the Roche limit. We see that TOI-2431 b has the shortest timescale until tidal disruption of ~31 Myr.
