The 23 pages that link to Hot Jupiter, each with the reason it gives.

• ExoplanetBroader topic: Its unexpectedly close orbit challenged assumptions about where giant planets form.

• Radial velocity methodBroader topic: Large, rapid stellar wobbles made these planets especially accessible to early surveys.

• Planetary migrationBroader topic: Close-in gas giants are a prominent clue that planets can move far from their birthplaces.

• Transit methodBroader topic: Its frequent, deep transits made this class especially accessible to early surveys.

• Exoplanet atmosphereBroader topic: These intensely irradiated planets provide strong atmospheric signals and were early targets for characterization.

• Planet formationBroader topic: Its close orbit requires formation and migration histories unlike simple in-place growth.

• Core accretionBroader topic: Its close orbit challenges models that form giant planets beyond the disk's ice line.

• Gas giantBroader topic: These unusually warm, close-in giants challenge simple accounts of where planets form.

• Orbital migrationBroader topic: Their close orbits are often explained by migration from farther out.

• PhotoevaporationBroader topic: Some hot Jupiters show extended atmospheres losing gas under stellar irradiation.

• Michel MayorBroader topic: 51 Pegasi b revealed this unexpected class of close-orbiting giant planets.

• Jupiter massBroader topic: These planets are often compared by mass in Jupiter units despite their varied compositions.

• Giant planetBroader topic: Hot Jupiters expose giant planets to intense irradiation and tidal effects absent from the Solar System's giants.
