THE OCCURRENCE OF ADDITIONAL GIANT PLANETS INSIDE THE WATER-ICE LINE IN SYSTEMS WITH HOT JUPITERS: EVIDENCE AGAINST HIGH-ECCENTRICITY MIGRATION

The origin of Jupiter-mass planets with orbital periods of only a few days is still uncertain. It is widely believed that these planets formed near the water-ice line of the protoplanetary disk, and subsequently migrated into much smaller orbits. Most of the proposed migration mechanisms can be clas...
