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 …

Evidence of star–planet interactions in the form of planet-modulated chromospheric
emission has been noted for a number of hot Jupiters. Magnetic star–planet interactions …

Planetary magnetic fields are important indicators of planetary processes and evolution,
from a planet's outer core to its surface (if it possesses one) to its atmosphere and near …

Context. The anomalously large radii of hot Jupiters are still not fully understood, and all of
the proposed explanations are based on the idea that these close-in giant planets possess …

We present the analysis of a full-orbit, spectroscopic phase curve of the ultra hot Jupiter
(UHJ) WASP-18b, obtained with the Wide Field Camera 3 aboard the Hubble Space …

In this paper, we present the analysis of incoherent non-thermal radio emission from a
sample of hot magnetic stars, ranging from early-B to early-A spectral type. Spanning a wide …

Short-period planets exhibit day–night temperature contrasts of hundreds to thousands of
kelvin. They also exhibit eastward hotspot offsets whereby the hottest region on the planet is …

Exomoons have so far eluded ongoing searches. Several studies have exploited transit and
transit timing variations and high-resolution spectroscopy to identify potential exomoon …

Short-period gas giants (hot Jupiters) on circular orbits are expected to be tidally locked into
synchronous rotation, with permanent daysides that face their host stars and permanent …

Black widows and redbacks are binary millisecond pulsars with close low-mass companions
that are irradiated and gradually ablated by the pulsar's high-energy luminosity L irr. These …
