In situ formation and dynamical evolution of hot Jupiter systems

K Batygin, PH Bodenheimer… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Hot Jupiters, giant extrasolar planets with orbital periods shorter than∼ 10 days, have long
been thought to form at large radial distances, only to subsequently experience long-range …

The orbit of WASP-12b is decaying

SW Yee, JN Winn, HA Knutson, KC Patra… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
WASP-12b is a transiting hot Jupiter on a 1.09 day orbit around a late-F star. Since the
