Simulations show that von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai migration from inclined companions produces misaligned short-period hot Jupiters while coplanar high-eccentricity migration preserves alignment at longer periods.
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.
A brown-dwarf companion's close pericenter in KELT-20 imposes dynamical limits that disfavor giant planet formation beyond the water-ice line.
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.
New obliquity measurements for two Neptunes update the sample distribution to favor aligned systems plus a random component, resembling that of more massive planets and implying shared dynamical origins.
