Lack of Inflated Radii for Kepler Giant Planet Candidates Receiving Modest Stellar Irradiation
The most irradiated transiting hot Jupiters are characterized by anomalously inflated radii, sometimes exceeding Jupiter's size by more than 60%. While different theoretical explanations have been applied, none of them provide a universal resolution to this observation, despite significant prog...
