The rotation of a star and the revolutions of its planets are not necessarily aligned. This
article reviews the measurement techniques, key findings, and theoretical interpretations …

Hot Jupiters were the first exoplanets to be discovered around main sequence stars and
astonished us with their close-in orbits. They are a prime example of how exoplanets have …

Our understanding of planet formation has been rapidly evolving in recent years. The
classical planet formation theory, developed when the only known planetary system was our …

We present a systematic search for transiting giant planets () orbiting nearby low-mass stars
(). The formation of giant planets around low-mass stars is predicted to be rare by the core …

Abstract The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is finding transiting planet
candidates around bright, nearby stars across the entire sky. The large field of view …

We provide a brief review of many aspects of the planetary physics of hot Jupiters. Our aim is
to cover most of the major areas of current study while providing the reader with additional …

In the past few years, significant advances have been made in understanding the
distributions of exoplanet populations and the architecture of planetary systems. We review …

Transit surveys indicate that there is a deficit of Neptune-sized planets on close-in orbits. If
this" Neptune desert" is entirely cleared out by atmospheric mass loss, then planets at its …

Observing exoplanets through transmission spectroscopy supplies detailed information
about their atmospheric composition, physics and chemistry. Before the James Webb Space …

For stars with unresolved companions, motions of the centre of light and that of mass
decouple, causing a single-source astrometric model to perform poorly. We show that such …
