Discovery of a cold giant planet and mass measurement of a hot super-Earth in the multi-planetary system WASP-132

N. Grieves, F. Bouchy, D. J. Armstrong +25

Hot Jupiters generally do not have nearby planet companions, as they may have cleared out other planets during their inward migration from more distant orbits. This gives evidence…
