Giant Planets and Eccentric Orbits Are Common Around Galactic Thick Disc Stars

Thiago Ferreira, Jhon Yana Galarza, Henrique Reggiani +15

Planet formation in the Galactic thick disc is expected to be inefficient---low solid reservoirs, short disc lifetimes, and harsh irradiation environments should conspire to inhibi…
