Two classes of hot Jupiters.

HANSEN B.M.S. and BARMAN T.

Abstract (from CDS):

We identify two classes of transiting planet, based on their equilibrium temperatures and Safronov numbers. We examine various possible explanations for the dichotomy. It may reflect the influence of planet or planetesimal scattering in determining when planetary migration stops. Another possibility is that some planets lose more mass to evaporation than others. If this evaporation process preferentially removes helium from the planet, the consequent reduction in the mean molecular weight may explain why some planets have anomalously large radii.
