The current paradigm to explain the presence of Jupiters with small orbital periods (P $<$ 10 days; hot Jupiters) that involves their formation beyond the snow line following inward migration, has been challenged by recent works that explored the possibility of in situ formation. We aim to test whether stars harbouring hot Jupiters and stars with more distant gas-giant planets show any chemical peculiarity that could be related to different formation processes. Our results show that stars with hot Jupiters have higher metallicities than stars with cool distant gas-giant planets in the metallicity range +0.00/+0.20 dex. The data also shows a tendency of stars with cool Jupiters to show larger abundances of $alpha$ elements. No abundance differences between stars with cool and hot Jupiters are found when considering iron peak, volatile elements or the C/O, and Mg/Si ratios. The corresponding $p$-values from the statistical tests comparing the cumulative distributions of cool and hot planet hosts are 0.20, $<$ 0.01, 0.81, and 0.16 for metallicity, $alpha$, iron-peak, and volatile elements, respectively. We confirm previous works suggesting that more distant planets show higher planetary masses as well as larger eccentricities. We note differences in age and spectral type between the hot and cool planet hosts samples that might affect the abundance comparison. The differences in the distribution of planetary mass, period, eccentricity, and stellar host metallicity suggest a different formation mechanism for hot and cool Jupiters. The slightly larger $alpha$ abundances found in stars harbouring cool Jupiters might compensate their lower metallicities allowing the formation of gas-giant planets.

HIP 67522 b is a 17 Myr old, close-in ($P_{orb} = 6.96$ d), Jupiter-sized ($R = 10,R_{oplus}$) transiting planet orbiting a Sun like star in the Sco-Cen OB association. We present our measurement of the systems projected orbital obliquity via two spe
ctroscopic transit observations using the CHIRON spectroscopic facility. We present a global model that accounts for large surface brightness features typical of such young stars during spectroscopic transit observations. With a value of $|lambda| = 5.1^{+2.5,circ}_{-3.7}$ degree, we demonstrate that this well-aligned system cannot be the result of a high eccentricity driven migration history. By being the youngest planet with a known obliquity, HIP 67522 b holds a special place in contributing to our understanding of giant planet formation and evolution. Our analysis shows the feasibility of such measurements for young and very active stars.
Close binaries suppress the formation of circumstellar (S-type) planets and therefore significantly bias the inferred planet occurrence rates and statistical trends. After compiling various radial velocity and high-resolution imaging surveys, we dete
rmine that binaries with a < 1 au fully suppress S-type planets, binaries with a = 10 au host close planets at 15% the occurrence rate of single stars, and wide binaries with a > 200 au have a negligible effect on close planet formation. We show that F = 43% +/- 7% of solar-type primaries do not host close planets due to suppression by close stellar companions. By removing spectroscopic binaries from their samples, radial velocity surveys for giant planets boost their detection rates by a factor of 1/(1-F) = 1.8 +/- 0.2 compared to transiting surveys. This selection bias fully accounts for the discrepancy in hot Jupiter occurrence rates inferred from these two detection methods. Correcting for both planet suppression by close binaries and transit dilution by wide binaries, the occurrence rate of small planets orbiting single G-dwarfs is 2.1 +/- 0.3 times larger than the rate inferred from all G-dwarfs in the Kepler survey. Additionally, about half (but not all) of the observed increase in small, short-period planets toward low-mass hosts can be explained by the corresponding decrease in the binary fraction. Finally, we demonstrate that the apparent enhancement of wide stellar companions to hot Jupiter hosts is due to multiple selection effects. Very close binaries, brown dwarf companions, and massive planets with M_2 > 7 M_J within a < 0.2 au preferentially have metal-poor hosts and wide tertiary companions, but genuine hot Jupiters with M_p = 0.2-4 M_J that formed via core accretion instead favor metal-rich hosts and do not exhibit a statistically significant excess of wide stellar companions.
Interior models of giant planets traditionally assume that at a given radius (i.e. pressure) the density should be larger than or equal to the one corresponding to a homogeneous, adiabatic stratification throughout the planet (referred to as the oute
r adiabat). The observations of Jupiters gravity field by Juno combined with the constraints on its atmospheric composition appear to be incompatible with such a profile. In this letter, we show that the above assumption stems from an incorrect understanding of the Schwarzschild-Ledoux criterion, which is only valid on a local scale. In order to fulfil the buoyancy stability condition, the density gradient with pressure in a non-adiabatic region must indeed rise more steeply than the {it local} adiabatic density gradient. However, the density gradient can be smaller than the one corresponding to the outer adiabat at the same pressure because of the higher temperature in an inhomogeneously stratified medium. Deep enough, the density can therefore be lower than the one corresponding to the outer adiabat. We show that this is permitted only if the slope of the local adiabat becomes shallower than the slope of the outer adiabat at the same pressure, as found in recent Jupiter models due to the increase of both specific entropy and adiabatic index with depth. We examine the dynamical stability of this structure and show that it is stable against non-adiabatic perturbations. The possibility of such unconventional density profile in Jupiter complicates further our understanding of the internal structure and evolution of (extrasolar) giant planets.
We search for signatures of a distant planet around the two-million-year-old classical T-Tauri star CI Tau hosting a hot Jupiter candidate (M_{p} sin{i} ~ 8.1 M_{Jupiter}) in an eccentric orbit (e ~0.3). To probe the existence of an outer perturber,
we reanalyzed 1.3 mm dust continuum observations of the protoplanetary disk around CI Tau obtained by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. We found a gap structure at ~0.8 in CI Taus disk. Our visibility fitting assuming an axisymmetric surface brightness profile suggested that the gap is located at a deprojected radius of 104.5+/-1.6 au and has a width of 36.9+/-2.9 au. The brightness temperature around the gap was calculated to be ~2.3 K lower than that of the ambient disk. Gap-opening mechanisms such as secular gravitational instability and dust trapping can explain the gap morphology in the CI Tau disk. The scenario that an unseen planet created the observed gap structure cannot be ruled out, although the coexistence of an eccentric hot Jupiter and a distant planet around the young CI Tau would be challenging for gravitational scattering scenarios. The mass of the planet was estimated to be between ~0.25 M_{Jupiter} and ~0.8 M_{Jupiter} from the gap width and depth (0.41 +0.04/-0.06) in the modeled surface brightness image, which is lower than the current detection limits of high-contrast direct imaging. The young classical T-Tauri CI Tau may be a unique system to explore the existence of a potential distant planet as well as the origin of an eccentric hot Jupiter.
We introduce a model for the orbital period modulation in systems with close-by giant planets based on a spin-orbit coupling that transfers angular momentum from the orbit to the rotation of the planet and viceversa. The coupling is produced by a per
manent non-axisymmetric gravitational quadrupole moment assumed to be present in the solid core of the planet. We investigate two regimes of internal planetary rotation, that is, when the planet rotates rigidly and when the rotation of its deep interior is time dependent as a consequence of a vacillating or intermittent convection in its outer shell. The model is applied to a sample of very hot Jupiters predicting maximum transit-time deviations from a constant-period ephemeris of approximately 50 seconds in the case of rigid rotation. The transit time variations of WASP-12, currently the only system showing evidence of a non-constant period, cannot be explained by assuming rigid rotation, but can be modelled in the time-dependent internal rotation regime, thus providing an alternative to their interpretation in terms of a tidal decay of the planet orbit.
