On the Tidal Dissipation of Obliquity

open access: yes, 2013
We investigate tidal dissipation of obliquity in hot Jupiters. Assuming an initial random orientation of obliquity and parameters relevant to the observed population, the obliquity of hot Jupiters does not evolve to purely aligned systems.

Multiple-Planet Scattering and the Origin of Hot Jupiters

open access: yes, 2011
Exoplanets show a pile-up of Jupiter-size planets in orbits with a 3-day period. A fraction of these hot Jupiters have retrograde orbits with respect to the parent star's rotation.

Hot Jupiters and the evolution of stellar angular momentum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Giant planets orbiting main-sequence stars closer than 0.1 AU are called hot Jupiters. They interact with their stars affecting their angular momentum. Recent observations provide suggestive evidence of excess angular momentum in stars with hot Jupiters ...

Magnetic field strengths of hot Jupiters from signals of star–planet interactions [PDF]

open access: yesNature Astronomy, 2019
Evidence of star–planet interactions in the form of planet-modulated chromospheric emission has been noted for a number of hot Jupiters. Magnetic star–planet interactions involve the release of energy stored in the stellar and planetary magnetic fields ...

Stellar wind-magnetosphere interaction at exoplanets: computations of auroral radio powers

open access: yes, 2016
We present calculations of the auroral radio powers expected from exoplanets with magnetospheres driven by an Earth-like magnetospheric interaction with the solar wind.

Two New HATNet Hot Jupiters around A Stars and the First Glimpse at the Occurrence Rate of Hot Jupiters from TESS [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Journal, 2019
Wide-field surveys for transiting planets are well suited to searching diverse stellar populations, enabling a better understanding of the link between the properties of planets and their parent stars.

The formation and habitability of terrestrial planets in the presence of hot jupiters

open access: yes, 2004
`Hot jupiters,' giant planets with orbits very close to their parent stars, are thought to form farther away and migrate inward via interactions with a massive gas disk.

The Influence of Host Star Spectral Type on Ultra-Hot Jupiter Atmospheres [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Ultra-hot Jupiters are the most highly irradiated gas giant planets, with equilibrium temperatures from 2000 to over 4000 K. Ultra-hot Jupiters are amenable to characterization due to their high temperatures, inflated radii, and short periods, but their ...

Hot Jupiters, Cold Kinematics

open access: yes, 2021
The properties of a planetary system may be influenced by properties of the host star, such as its birth environment or age. Recently, a link has been found between a star's local phase space density in the Galaxy and the presence of a hot Jupiter: hot Jupiters are preferentially found around stars with higher local phase space densities.

Transit Signatures of Inhomogeneous Clouds on Hot Jupiters: Insights from Microphysical Cloud Modeling [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
We determine the observability in transmission of inhomogeneous cloud cover on the limbs of hot Jupiters through post-processing a general circulation model to include cloud distributions computed using a cloud microphysics model.
