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 …

We carried out a Bayesian homogeneous determination of the orbital parameters of 231
transiting giant planets (TGPs) that are alone or have distant companions; we employed …

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 …

The mass–period or radius–period distribution of close-in exoplanets shows a paucity of
intermediate mass/size (sub-Jovian) planets with periods≲ 3 d. We show that this sub …

We report the distribution of planets as a function of planet radius, orbital period, and stellar
effective temperature for orbital periods less than 50 days around solar-type (GK) stars …

We present exoplanet occurrence rates estimated with approximate Bayesian computation
for planets with radii between 0.5 and 16 R⊕ and orbital periods between 0.78 and 400 …

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 …

The first discovered extrasolar worlds—giant," hot Jupiter" planets on short-period orbits—
came as a surprise to solar system–centric models of planet formation, prompting the …

Convergent disk migration has long been suspected to be responsible for forming planetary
systems with a chain of mean-motion resonances (MMRs). Dynamical evolution over time …
