How do exoplanets evolve throughout their lifetimes, specifically those known as “hot Jupiters”, which have been found to orbit extremely close to their parent stars? This is what a recent study published in Nature hopes to address as an international team of researchers investigated the highly eccentric orbit of TIC 241249530 b, which is a Jupiter-sized exoplanet located approximately 1,100 light-years from Earth. This study holds the potential to help astronomers better understand the formation of exoplanets like hot Jupiters and how their orbits evolve over time.
