A New Window into Planet Formation and Migration: Refractory-to-Volatile Elemental Ratios in Ultra-hot Jupiters [PDF]
, 2020 A primary goal of exoplanet characterization is to use a planet’s current composition to understand how that planet formed. For example, the C/O ratio has long been recognized as carrying important information on the chemistry of volatile species ...

Hot-Jupiters and hot-Neptunes: A common origin? [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2005 We compare evolutionary models for close-in exoplanets coupling irradiation and evaporation due respectively to the thermal and high energy flux of the parent star with observations of recently discovered new transiting planets. The models provide an overall good agreement with observations, although at the very limit of the quoted error bars of OGLE ...

The Period Distribution of Hot Jupiters Is Not Dependent on Host Star Metallicity
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The probability that a Sun-like star has a close-orbiting giant planet (period ≲1 yr) increases with stellar metallicity. Previous work provided evidence that the period distribution of close-orbiting giant planets is also linked to metallicity, hinting ...

Warm Jupiters are less lonely than hot Jupiters: close neighbours [PDF]
, 2016 Exploiting the Kepler transit data, we uncover a dramatic distinction in the prevalence of sub-Jovian companions, between systems that contain hot Jupiters (periods inward of 10 days) and those that host warm Jupiters (periods between 10 and 200 days ...

From thermal dissociation to condensation in the atmospheres of ultra hot Jupiters: WASP-121b in context [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018 Context. A new class of exoplanets has emerged: the ultra hot Jupiters, the hottest close-in gas giants. The majority of them have weaker-than-expected spectral features in the 1.1−1.7 μm bandpass probed by HST/WFC3 but stronger spectral features at ...

Evidence of three mechanisms explaining the radius anomaly of hot Jupiters [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 Context. The anomalously large radii of hot Jupiters are still not fully understood, and all of the proposed explanations are based on the idea that these close-in giant planets possess hot interiors. Most of the mechanisms proposed have been tested on a

Why is it So Hot in Here? Exploring Population Trends in Spitzer Thermal Emission Observations of Hot Jupiters Using Planet-specific, Self-consistent Atmospheric Models [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Thermal emission has now been observed from dozens of exoplanet atmospheres, opening the gateway to population-level characterization. Here, we provide theoretical explanations for observed trends in Spitzer IRAC channel 1 (3.6 μm) and channel 2 (4.5 μm)

The TESS Grand Unified Hot Jupiter Survey. II. Twenty New Giant Planets
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission promises to improve our understanding of hot Jupiters by providing an all-sky, magnitude-limited sample of transiting hot Jupiters suitable for population studies.
