The Cold Jupiter Eccentricity Distribution is Consistent with EKL Driven by Stellar Companions

The Cold Jupiter Eccentricity Distribution is Consistent with EKL Driven by Stellar Companions

The large eccentricities of cold Jupiters and the existence of hot Jupiters have long challenged theories of planet formation. A proposed solution to both of these puzzles is high-eccentricity migration, in which an initially cold Jupiter is excited to high eccentricities before being tidally circul...
