Hot Jupiters Are Asynchronous Rotators [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal LettersHot Jupiters are typically assumed to be synchronously rotating, from tidal locking. Their thermally driven atmospheric winds experience Lorentz drag on the planetary magnetic field anchored at depth.

TESS Giants Transiting Giants. VI. Newly Discovered Hot Jupiters Provide Evidence for Efficient Obliquity Damping after the Main Sequence [PDF]
The Astronomical JournalThe degree of alignment between a star’s spin axis and the orbital plane of its planets (the stellar obliquity) is related to interesting and poorly understood processes that occur during planet formation and evolution.

Evidence for Primordial Alignment II: Insights from Stellar Obliquity Measurements for Hot Jupiters in Compact Multiplanet Systems [PDF]
The Astronomical JournalA significant fraction of hot Jupiters have orbital axes misaligned with their host stars’ spin axes. The large stellar obliquities of these giants have long been considered potential signatures of high-eccentricity migration, which is expected to clear ...

EVOLUTION OF OHMICALLY HEATED HOT JUPITERS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 We present calculations of thermal evolution of Hot Jupiters with various masses and effective temperatures under Ohmic dissipation. The resulting evolutionary sequences show a clear tendency towards inflated radii for effective temperatures that give rise to significant ionization of alkali metals in the atmosphere, compatible with the trend of the ...

The Frequency of Hot Jupiters in the Galaxy [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 The frequency of Hot Jupiters around Galactic dwarf stars is determined from the results of the SuperLupus transit survey and realistic Monte Carlo simulations of the survey efficiency.

Limited Hysteresis in the Atmospheric Dynamics of Hot Jupiters [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalOver the past two decades, a coherent picture has emerged of the atmospheric dynamics of hot Jupiters from a combination of three-dimensional general circulation models and astronomical observations.

Evaporation of hot jupiters and hot neptunes [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 Among the nearly five hundred extra-solar planets known, almost 30% orbit closer than 0.1 AU from their parent star. We will review the observations and the corresponding models of the evaporation of these ‘hot jupiters’.

Kepler constraints on planets near hot Jupiters. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2012 We present the results of a search for planetary companions orbiting near hot Jupiter planet candidates (Jupiter-size candidates with orbital periods near 3 d) identified in the Kepler data through its sixth quarter of science operations.
