Saving Doomed Planets: Mass Loss and Angular Momentum Return Boost Hot Jupiter Survival Rates
The existence of giant extrasolar planets on short-period orbits (“hot Jupiters”) challenges planet formation theories because such planets are difficult to form close to the star. High-eccentricity migration is a leading explanation, in which giant planets born at large separations are excited to n...
