- petschge 7y agoDo you have more information on that? "Hot jupiters" are close in gas planets and the should appear at low semi-major axis, above the Fulton gap. (Disclaimer: I am not a planetary scientist, but my office mate is and I learned just enough to be annoying)
- scott_s 7y agoSorry, I don't have any further insight, as my reply was based on information from the posted story.
