The Discovery of a Planetary Companion Interior to Hot Jupiter WASP-132 b

Benjamin J. Hord, Knicole D. Colón, Travis A. Berger +21

Hot Jupiters are generally observed to lack close planetary companions, a trend that has been interpreted as evidence for high-eccentricity migration. We present the discovery and…
