Roche lobe overflow destruction of hot Jupiters clears all companions from the sub-Jovian desert inside ~4 days while most observed companions remain stable, unlike tidal disruption during high-eccentricity migration.
Wind speed measurements in seven ultra-hot Jupiters decrease with temperature, consistent with magnetic drag and implying magnetic field strengths of a few gauss.
Dynamical tides exciting f-modes during high-eccentricity migration produce the hot Jupiter pile-up, Neptune ridge, and Neptune desert via orbital circularization and selective atmospheric mass loss.
TOI-1710 b has a true obliquity of 149 degrees indicating retrograde motion, favoring high-eccentricity migration via planet-planet scattering and Kozai-Lidov cycles for this tidally detached super-Neptune.
Hydrogen-silicate miscibility stores hydrogen in sub-Neptune interiors, resupplies escaping envelopes, delays contraction, matches young-planet observations, and enables a population test requiring 70-100 targets under 100 Myr.
Reanalysis of TOI-1272 and TOI-1694 retracts TOI-1272 c as planetary, attributes the signal to stellar activity via Gaussian process modeling, and refines orbital parameters for the systems.
Detection and characterization of two eccentric warm Jupiters TOI-2147 b (P=26.2 d, e=0.29, M=116 M⊕) and TOI-6019 b (P=14.5 d, e=0.48, M=149 M⊕) with TESS and MaHPS data, showing mildly inflated radii consistent with tidal heating.
