The rotation of a star and the revolutions of its planets are not necessarily aligned. This
article reviews the measurement techniques, key findings, and theoretical interpretations …

Hot Jupiters were the first exoplanets to be discovered around main sequence stars and
astonished us with their close-in orbits. They are a prime example of how exoplanets have …

We present a high-precision radial velocity (RV) survey of 719 FGKM stars, which host 164
known exoplanets and 14 newly discovered or revised exoplanets and substellar …

We present a statistical analysis of the first 300 stars observed by the Gemini Planet Imager
Exoplanet Survey. This subsample includes six detected planets and three brown dwarfs; …

The orbital distribution of giant planets is crucial for understanding how terrestrial planets
form and predicting yields of exoplanet surveys. Here, we derive giant planets occurrence …

We provide a brief review of many aspects of the planetary physics of hot Jupiters. Our aim is
to cover most of the major areas of current study while providing the reader with additional …

High-contrast adaptive optics (AO) imaging is a powerful technique to probe the
architectures of planetary systems from the outside-in and survey the atmospheres of self …

We carried out a Bayesian homogeneous determination of the orbital parameters of 231
transiting giant planets (TGPs) that are alone or have distant companions; we employed …

We determine the orbital eccentricities of individual small Kepler planets, through a
combination of asteroseismology and transit light-curve analysis. We are able to constrain …

Context. The explosion of observational data on exoplanets gives many constraints on
theoretical models of planet formation and evolution. Observational data probe very large …
