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 …

Hydrogen and helium are the most abundant elements in the Universe. They are also, in
principle, the most simple. Nonetheless, they display remarkable properties under extreme …

WASP-107b is a warm (approximately 740 K) transiting planet with a Neptune-like mass of
roughly 30.5 M⊕ and Jupiter-like radius of about 0.94 RJ (refs.,), whose extended …

Studies of exoplanet demographics require large samples and precise constraints on
exoplanet host stars. Using the homogeneous Kepler stellar properties derived using the …

Context. KELT-9 b exemplifies a newly emerging class of short-period gaseous exoplanets
that tend to orbit hot, early type stars–termed ultra-hot Jupiters. The severe stellar irradiation …

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 describe an online database for extrasolar planetary-mass candidates, which is updated
regularly as new data are available. We first discuss criteria for inclusion of objects in the …

Bayesian inference provides a consistent method for the extraction of information from
physics experiments even in ill-conditioned circumstances. The approach provides a unified …

We have developed a one-dimensional photochemical and thermochemical kinetics and
diffusion model to study the effects of disequilibrium chemistry on the atmospheric …

We measure the mass of a modestly irradiated giant planet, KOI-94d. We wish to determine
whether this planet, which is in a 22 day orbit and receives 2700 times as much incident flux …
