Rapid contraction of giant planets orbiting the 20 million-years old star V1298 Tau

V. Bourrier, C. Lovis, M. Cretignier +34
Comparisons of the alignment of exoplanets with a common host star can be used to distinguish among concurrent evolution scenarios. However, multi-planet systems usually host mini-…
Is the orbit of the exoplanet WASP-43b really decaying? TESS and MuSCAT2 observations confirm no detection
Z. Garai, T. Pribulla, H. Parviainen +24
Up to now, WASP-12b is the only hot Jupiter confirmed to have a decaying orbit. The case of WASP-43b is still under debate. Recent studies preferred or ruled out the orbital decay…
