The "missing link": a 4-day period transiting exoplanet around OGLE-TR-111
, 2004 We report the discovery of a transiting hot Jupiter around OGLE-TR-111, from our radial velocity follow-up of OGLE transiting candidates in Carina. The planet has a mass of 0.53 +- 0.11 M_J and a radius of 1.0 +0.13-0.06 R_J.

In Situ Formation and Dynamical Evolution of Hot Jupiter Systems [PDF]
, 2016 Hot Jupiters, giant extrasolar planets with orbital periods shorter than ~10 days, have long been thought to form at large radial distances, only to subsequently experience long-range inward migration. Here, we propose that in contrast with this picture,

Thermal Segregation and Reddening in Europa's Double Ridges
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Europa's double ridges often display lower albedo and redder color than their surroundings. Their unique topography may cause sublimation‐driven darkening due to illumination and self‐heating—the process of thermal segregation. We apply an advanced 3D thermophysical model, including shadowing and self‐heating through mutual exchange of ...

Thermosphere and exosphere of hot Jupiters [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008 AbstractHere we describe the observations and the resulting constraints on the upper atmosphere (thermosphere and exosphere) of hot Jupiters. In particular, observations and theoretical modeling of hot-Jupiter evaporation are described. The observations allowed the discovery that the planet orbiting HD209458 has an extended atmosphere of escaping ...

Limited Hysteresis in the Atmospheric Dynamics of Hot Jupiters
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.

The destruction of inner planetary systems during high-eccentricity migration of gas giants
, 2015 Hot Jupiters are giant planets on orbits a few hundredths of an AU. They do not share their system with low-mass close-in planets, despite these latter being exceedingly common.

Archives of impact: The politics of craters on Earth
Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2026.This paper examines Earth’s 195 confirmed impact craters as archives, exploring their cataloguing and presentation as heritage sites. It argues Western scientific framings using military language and emphasising catastrophe overlook settler colonialism’s violent histories and marginalise indigenous earth‐sky cosmologies.

Hot Jupiters Are Inflated Primarily by Shallow Heating
The Astrophysical JournalThe unexpectedly large radii of transiting hot Jupiters have led to many proposals for the physical mechanisms responsible for heating their interiors. While it has been shown that hot Jupiters reinflate as their host stars brighten due to heating deep ...

The Photoeccentric Effect and Proto-Hot Jupiters I. Measuring photometric eccentricities of individual transiting planets [PDF]
, 2012 Exoplanet orbital eccentricities offer valuable clues about the history of planetary systems. Eccentric, Jupiter-sized planets are particularly interesting: they may link the "cold" Jupiters beyond the ice line to close-in hot Jupiters, which are ...
