9 Formation of hot Jupiters by disk-driven migration Lubow et al. 99 What is the source of disk viscosity? MRI activity in surface layers only FUV X-ray

11 Spin-orbit alignment of hot Jupiters λ = stellar obliquity (sky projected) λ Ω ~50% are misaligned, including retrograde

12 Measuring spin-orbit angles by Rossiter-McLaughlin 0 HAT-P-14 Winn+ 11 Gaudi & Winn 08

13 Migration by eccentricity excitation and tidal decay Planet forms far from star Eccentricity is excited (somehow) When planet comes close enough to star, strong tides are raised on planet, circularizing its orbit Y. Lithwick

14 Start with 3 widely spaced, mildly eccentric & inclined planets: Secular Chaos a(au) ecc. inc. (deg) mass (Mj) no close encounters or strong resonances Wu & Lithwick 11

18 Ohmic inflation (or suspension) Wu & Lithwick 12 only works if hot Jupiter is parked early (cf. secular migration which parks late)

31 What it is not: gas giant (dynamically unstable) background blend with RR Lyrae variable star (background blends will be further checked with deep imaging) RR Lyrae star with Kepler What it is probably not: hierarchical triple containing accretion disk (no out-of-eclipse variability) Porb = 15.7 hr K
