A Massive Hot Jupiter Orbiting a Metal-rich Early M Star Discovered in the TESS Full-frame Images
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Observations and statistical studies have shown that giant planets are rare around M dwarfs compared with Sun-like stars. The formation mechanism of these extreme systems has remained under debate for decades. With the help of the TESS mission and ground-

A short-period censor of sub-Jupiter mass exoplanets with low density [PDF]
, 2010 Despite the existence of many short-period hot Jupiters, there is not one hot Neptune with an orbital period less than 2.5 days. Here we discuss a cluster analysis of the currently known 106 transiting exoplanets to investigate a possible explanation for

Molecular cross-sections for high-resolution spectroscopy of super-Earths, warm Neptunes, and hot Jupiters [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 High-resolution spectroscopy (HRS) has been used to detect a number of species in the atmospheres of hot Jupiters. Key to such detections is accurately and precisely modelled spectra for cross-correlation against the R ≳ 20 000 observations. There is a

Storms, Variability, and Multiple Equilibria on Hot Jupiters [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2021 Observations of hot-Jupiter atmospheres show large variations in the location of the “hot spot” and the amplitude of spectral features. Atmospheric flow simulations using the commonly employed forcing and initialization have generally produced a large ...

The Intrinsic Temperature and Radiative–Convective Boundary Depth in the Atmospheres of Hot Jupiters [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 In giant planet atmosphere modeling, the intrinsic temperature Tint and radiative–convective boundary (RCB) are important lower boundary conditions. Often in one-dimensional radiative–convective models and in three-dimensional general circulation models ...

Transiting Exoplanet Monitoring Project (TEMP). VI. The Homogeneous Refinement of System Parameters for 39 Transiting Hot Jupiters with 127 New Light Curves [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2021 We present 127 new transit light curves for 39 hot Jupiter systems, obtained over the span of 5 yr by two ground-based telescopes. A homogeneous analysis of these newly collected light curves together with archived spectroscopic, photometric, and Doppler

Thermal tides on a hot Jupiter [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 Following the linear analysis laid out by Gu & Ogilvie 2009 (hereafter GO09), we investigate the dynamical response of a non-synchronized hot Jupiter to stellar irradiation. Besides the internal and Rossby waves considered by GO09, we study the Kelvin waves excited by the diurnal Fourier harmonic of the prograde stellar irradiation. We also present a 2-

A transition between the hot and the ultra-hot Jupiter atmospheres [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 A key hypothesis in the field of exoplanet atmospheres is the trend of atmospheric thermal structure with planetary equilibrium temperature. We explore this trend and report here the first statistical detection of a transition in the near-infrared atmospheric emission between hot and ultra-hot Jupiters.

Searching For Transiting Planets Around Halo Stars. ii. Constraining the Occurrence Rate of Hot Jupiters [PDF]
Astronomical Journal, 2021 Jovian planet formation has been shown to be strongly correlated with host-star metallicity, which is thought to be a proxy for disk solids. Observationally, previous works have indicated that Jovian planets preferentially form around stars with solar ...
