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 faster than the viscous one in massive discs. Such fast migration cannot be explained by the conventional picture. Scardoni et al. (2020) has recently argued this new picture. By carrying out similar hydrodynamic simulations, they found that the migration velocity slows down with time and eventually reaches the prediction by the conventional theory. They interpreted the fast migration as an initial transient one and concluded that the conventional type II migration is realised after the transient phase. We show that the migration velocities obtained by Scardoni et al. (2020) are consistent with the previous simulations even in the transient phase that they proposed. We also find that the transient fast migration proposed by Scardoni et al. (2020) is well described by a new model of Kanagawa et al. (2018). The new model can appropriately describe significant inward migration during the initial transient phase that Scardoni et al. (2020) termed. Hence, we conclude that the time-variation of the transient migration velocity is due to the changes of the orbital radius of the planet and its background surface density during the migration.
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 disc dispersal due to PE through a process known as Planet-Induced PhotoEvaporation (PIPE). In this case, a cavity is formed as material inside the planetary orbit is removed by PE, leaving only the outer disc to drive the migration of the giant planet. We investigate the impact of PE on giant planet migration and focus specifically on the case of transition discs with an evacuated cavity inside the planet location. This is important for determining under what circumstances PE is efficient at halting the migration of giant planets, thus affecting the final orbital distribution of a population of planets. For this purpose, we use 2D FARGO simulations to model the migration of giant planets in a range of primordial and transition discs subject to PE. The results are then compared to the standard prescriptions used to calculate the migration tracks of planets in 1D planet population synthesis models. The FARGO simulations show that once the disc inside the planet location is depleted of gas, planet migration ceases. This contradicts the results obtained by the impulse approximation, which predicts the accelerated inward migration of planets in discs that have been cleared inside the planetary orbit. These results suggest that the impulse approximation may not be suitable for planets embedded in transition discs. A better approximation that could be used in 1D models would involve halting planet migration once the material inside the planetary orbit is depleted of gas and the surface density at the 3:2 mean motion resonance location in the outer disc reaches a threshold value of $0.01,mathrm{g,cm^{-2}}$.
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 ent to the methods that have yielded the greatest exoplanet hauls. On the basis of such surveys, one might consider our planetary system highly unusual - but the reality is that we are only now beginning to uncover the true picture. In this work, we use the full eighteen-year archive of data from the Anglo-Australian Planet Search to examine the abundance of Cool Jupiters - analogs to the Solar systems giant planets, Jupiter and Saturn. We find that such planets are intrinsically far more common through the cosmos than their siblings, the hot Jupiters. We find that the occurrence rate of such Cool Jupiters is $6.73^{+2.09}_{-1.13}$%, almost an order of magnitude higher than the occurrence of hot Jupiters (at $0.84^{+0.70}_{-0.20}$%). We also find that the occurrence rate of giant planets is essentially constant beyond orbital distances of $sim$1,au. Our results reinforce the importance of legacy radial velocity surveys for the understanding of the Solar systems place in the cosmos.

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 lanet and a red giant donor star. The accretion disk is fed by a stellar wind. %, disk self-gravity is neglected. We use the $alpha$-disk model and consider that the stellar wind is time-dependent. Assuming the disk is quasi-stationary we calculate its temperature and surface density profiles. In addition to the standard disk model, when matter is captured by the disk at its outer edge, we study the situation when the stellar wind delivers matter on the whole disc surface inside the accretion radius with the rate depending on distance from the central star. Implying that a planet experiences classical type I/II migration we calculate migration time for a planet on a circular orbit coplanar with the disk. Potentially, rapid inward planet migration can result in a planet-star merger which can be accompanied by an optical or/and UV/X-ray transient. We calculate timescale of migration for different parameters of planets and binaries. Our results demonstrate that planets can fall on their host stars within the lifetime of the late-type donor for realistic sets of parameters.
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 a member of a well-characterized hierarchical multiple, the well-known Kozai mechanism provides an effective migration channel for WD~1856~b. Moreover, the lack of tides in the star allows us to directly connect the current semi-major axis to the pre-migration one, from which we can infer the initial conditions of the system. By further demanding that successful migrators survive all previous phases of stellar evolution, we are able to constrain the mass of WD~1856~b to be $simeq0.7-3M_{rm J}$ and its main sequence semi-major axis to be $simeq 2-2.5$ au. These properties imply that WD~1856~b was born a typical gas giant. We further estimate the occurrence rate of Kozai-migrated planets around WDs to be ${cal O}(10^{-3}{-}10^{-4})$, suggesting that WD~1856~b is the only one in the {it TESS} sample, but implying ${cal O}(10^2)$ future detections by LSST. In a sense, WD~1856~b was an ordinary Jovian planet that underwent an extraordinary dynamical history.
