The Narrow Formation Pathway of Hot Saturns: Constraints on Initial Planetary Properties

The observed exoplanet population exhibits a scarcity of short-period Saturn-mass planets, a phenomenon referred to as the “hot-Saturn desert.” This observational scarcity can be utilized to validate the theories regarding the formation and evolution of gas planets. In this study, we conduct large-s...
