Hot Jupiter

Hot Jupiters (also called roaster planets, epistellar jovians, pegasids or pegasean planets) are a class of exoplanets that are inferred to be physically similar to Jupiter but that have very short orbital radii with semi-major axes from 0.015 to 0.5 astronomical units (2.2×106 to 74.8×106 km). The close proximity to their stars and high surface temperatures resulted in the moniker "hot Jupiters".
