Pegasi • They had lots of archival data from searches for Jupiter-type planets (periods >10 years, so they were still “in progress”) • No one even thought to look for short-period MASSIVE planets (why would they be easier?) • Found many “Hot Jupiters” – most extra-solar planets known today are Hot J ...

... One big early surprise (1995) was the ground-based discovery of “hot Jupiters:” gas giants the size of Jupiter in orbits around their parent stars much closer than Venus—or even Mercury—is to the Sun. How does something that massive form so close to a parent star? Would there have been enough materi ...
