Homogeneous reanalysis of 145 single-star RM systems reveals mass-dependent e-λ trends: sub-Saturns eccentric and misaligned, Jupiters misaligned only when circular, and super-Jupiters aligned at all eccentricities.
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.
Archival RV and astrometric data plus three-body simulations constrain an unseen outer perturber in the GJ 436 system to sub-Jovian masses at a_c ≳ 6.8 AU, supporting Kozai-Lidov migration as the source of the hot Neptune's polar eccentric orbit.
Tentative evidence for a super-Jupiter at 15-100 AU or brown dwarf at 20-170 AU in 51 Pegasi from RV curvature, but the signal is likely driven by Lick/Hamilton instrument drift.
NUV transit depth of XO-3b measured at 0.1371 with 22-minute late center; X-ray data yield mass-loss rate ~10^4 g/s; bow-shock model predicts early rather than late transit.
Giant planet multiplicity is low, with 10.6% and 15.8% of Sun-like stars hosting at least one giant planet within 10 au across the two surveys, mostly as singles, inconsistent with scattering models.
New transit data for WASP-11 b over 16 years shows no orbital decay or TTV signals from other planets, with a transmission spectrum exhibiting a strong Rayleigh scattering slope possibly from the atmosphere or contamination.
