Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a timing-based approach to distinguish how hot Jupiters migrated inward to their stars. By analyzing orbital circularization timescales, they identified about 30 such planets that likely moved peacefully through protoplanetary disks rather than via violent scattering. This finding provides clearer evidence of formation processes for these massive exoplanets.
