@budc1958 We do touch on the origin in the latter half of the article, plus a good deal of detail in the Methods. While we can't be certain, we think the planet may have started out similar to our own Jupiter before being forced onto its current orbit by the host star's binary companion.

Pausing my twitter hiatus to announce my new paper published in Nature today: https://t.co/0hZd3fJN6P
We confirm and characterize TIC 241249530 b, a warm Jupiter on an eccentric & retrograde orbit, and we show that it is en route to becoming a hot Jupiter ⤵️

@taylorjhoyt Thanks Taylor!

Astronomers using the @WIYNObservatory 3.5-meter Telescope at @NSF @KittPeakNatObs have discovered the extremely strange orbit of a rare exoplanet which holds clues to the formation history of hot Jupiters

@bsgaudi Unfortunately, no secondary eclipse -- secondary impact parameter is ~ 2.5. But the orientation of the orbit is sort of mirrored rel. to HD 80606. The transit occurs just a few hours after peri here, so JWST would be fantastic for a phase curve + transmission spec

[Arvind Gupta @ArvindFGupta]

@ExoCytherean Thank you!

[Arvind Gupta @ArvindFGupta]

And here's a great thread from Jason with some historical context to add to just how cool this discovery is: https://t.co/me8rzoSdFQ

[Jason Wright @Astro_Wright]

Science time!

Back in 2001, when I had JUST gotten into exoplanets, the Swiss planet hunting team announced a *bonkers* planet, HD 80606b.

It had an eccentricity of 0.93: basically like a comet! A period of 111 days, and a periapse that made it—briefly—a hot Jupiter.

[Arvind Gupta @ArvindFGupta]

Thank you so much to everyone that helped - @jiayin_dong, @Astro_Wright, @SuvrathM, @shubhamkanodia, @markgiovinazzi, @cabridelle, @XianyuWang3, @gummiks, and lots more!

[Arvind Gupta @ArvindFGupta]

If any Tucson folks need a reason to show up, my puppy will be there and he will be requesting pets

[Astronomy on Tap TUS @Space_Drafts]

.#SpaceDrafts97 is coming your way! 7:30pm Apr 16, Borderlands Brewing (Toole) / https://t.co/Ce9eZGvUsA. We'll hear about giant exoplanet migration from @NOIRLabAstro postdoc @ArvindFGupta and giant telescopes from @UAZOpticalSci prof Daewook Kim. RSVP https://t.co/QRUjDyrbVa

[Michael Palumbo @michael_palumbo]

I’ll be giving my thesis talk at #AAS243 Wednesday at 10 am in the Extrasolar Planets: Populations and Radial Velocities session. If you’re interested in the intersection of exoplanet searches 🪐 and stellar/solar ☀️astrophysics, come through! (And I’m on the job market 👀)

[Arvind Gupta @ArvindFGupta]

Officially #PhinisheD with grad school! I'll really miss the astronomy community at Penn State, but I'm so excited to be heading to Tucson as a @NOIRLabAstro Fellow in August!

[Arvind Gupta @ArvindFGupta]

@davidwhogg @meg_bedell I definitely plan to arrange something!

[Arvind Gupta @ArvindFGupta]

The other paper (w/ Megan Bedell) is an in-depth exploration of EPRV exoplanet survey strategies from an information theory perspective, focusing on how we account for correlated noise

Submitted my dissertation last week 🥳, which means I finally have time to talk about a couple of my papers that came out a little over a month ago. Threads below!

Eccentric Warm Jupiter TOI-4127 b

[Arvind Gupta @ArvindFGupta]

In the first paper – which is almost completely unrelated to my thesis – we confirm a new highly eccentric warm Jupiter, TOI-4127 b, using RVs from @NEID_at_WIYN and SOPHIE. Paper link here: https://t.co/6VHN1r0A3k
