Whether the higher occurrence of giant planets being hosted by metal-rich versus metal-poor stars results from formation or from pollution has been a question of intense debate. We present new patterns that emerge when planet/star systems are separated by stellar [Fe/H], and when systems with stellar companions are separated out. These differences can best be explained if the onset of high eccentricity planet migration is also a time when planet are sent into merge with the star. Planet migration into the star is likely a complementary explanation to the view that systems with higher initial iron abundance form more planets, and that more crowded planets are more likely to scatter into eccentric orbits. Planets of iron-rich single stars have eccentricity distributions that are higher than planets of iron-poor single stars (where rich and poor are stars whose [Fe/H] is above and below solar, respectively). Stars with planets that have a stellar companion comprise a third population of systems in which the stars are preferentially iron-rich. We describe new patterns that are best explained by eccentric planet migration being associated with other planets migrating into the star. Though medium planets are more numerous than giant planets at periods greater than three days, giant planets are more numerous than medium planets at the shortest periods. Since giant planets migrate into the star faster, we show this as evidence of giant planet migration. Planet migration into the star is certain to be an important part of planetary system evolution.
In the conventional view of type II migration, a giant planet migrates inward in the viscous velocity of the accretion disc in the so-call disc-dominate case. Recent hydrodynamic simulations, however, showed that planets migrate with velocities much
Transition discs are expected to be a natural outcome of the interplay between photoevaporation (PE) and giant planet formation. Massive planets reduce the inflow of material from the outer to the inner disc, therefore triggering an earlier onset of
Our understanding of planetary systems different to our own has grown dramatically in the past 30 years. However, our efforts to ascertain the degree to which the Solar system is abnormal or unique have been hindered by the observational biases inher
Planet migration originally refers to protoplanetary disks, which are more massive and dense than typical accretion disks in binary systems. We study planet migration in an accretion disk in a binary system consisting of a solar-like star hosting a p
The Jovian-sized object WD~1856~b transits a white dwarf (WD) in a compact $1.4$-day orbit. Unlikely to have endured stellar evolution in its current orbit, WD~1856~b is thought to have migrated from much wider separations. Because the WD is old, and
