Superflares and “Hot-Jupiters” [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2004 Schaefer, King & Deliyannis (2000) reported the discovery of powerful stellar flares on single, solar-type stars. The outbursts on these F8-G8 stars were 102–107 times more powerful than the largest solar flares. The observed properties are similar to the magnetic reconnection driven events of RS CVn binaries.

TRANSITIONS IN THE CLOUD COMPOSITION OF HOT JUPITERS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 Over a large range of equilibrium temperatures, clouds shape the transmission spectrum of hot Jupiter atmospheres, yet their composition remains unknown.

Two Classes of Hot Jupiters [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2007 We identify two classes of transiting planet, based on their equilibrium temperatures and Safronov numbers. We examine various possible explanations for the dichotomy. It may reflect the influence of planet or planetesimal scattering in determining when planetary migration stops.

Radiative equilibrium models of “hot Jupiters” [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2004 We present an extension of our equilibrium model, initially applied to 51 Peg b (Goukenleuque et al. 2000), to other irradiated extrasolar planets with different orbital distances (up to 1 AU). The model yields the mean atmospheric thermal structure and predicts the reflected spectral flux as well as the thermal flux emerging from such planets, in the ...

Photochemical Hazes Dramatically Alter Temperature Structure and Atmospheric Circulation in 3D Simulations of Hot Jupiters [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Photochemical hazes are expected to form in hot Jupiter atmospheres and may explain the strong scattering slopes and muted spectral features observed in the transmission spectra of many hot Jupiters.

Orbital Decay of Hot Jupiters due to Weakly Nonlinear Tidal Dissipation [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We study tidal dissipation in hot Jupiter host stars due to the nonlinear damping of tidally driven g-modes, extending the calculations of Essick & Weinberg to a wide variety of stellar host types.

TESS Transit Timing of Hundreds of Hot Jupiters [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2022 We provide a database of transit times and updated ephemerides for 382 planets based on data from the NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and previously reported transit times, which were scraped from the literature in a semiautomated ...

Origins of Hot Jupiters from the Stellar Obliquity Distribution [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 The obliquity of a star, or the angle between its spin axis and the average orbit normal of its companion planets, provides a unique constraint on that system’s evolutionary history. Unlike the solar system, where the Sun’s equator is nearly aligned with

Patchy Nightside Clouds on Ultra-hot Jupiters: General Circulation Model Simulations with Radiatively Active Cloud Tracers [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2022 The atmospheres of ultra-hot Jupiters have been characterized in detail through recent phase curve and low- and high-resolution emission and transmission spectroscopic observations.
