The Narrow Formation Pathway of Hot Saturns: Constraints on Initial Planetary Properties
Minghao Xie, Sheng Jin, Dong-Hong Wu
The observed exoplanet population exhibits a scarcity of short-period Saturn-mass planets, a phenomenon referred to as the ``hot Saturn desert". This observational scarcity can be…
