The Period Distribution of Hot Jupiters Is Not Dependent on Host Star Metallicity

The probability that a Sun-like star has a close-orbiting giant planet (period ≲1 yr) increases with stellar metallicity. Previous work provided evidence that the period distribution of close-orbiting giant planets is also linked to metallicity, hinting that there two formation/evolution pathways fo...
