Worlds in Migration

Abstract

In this paper we discuss an alternative track for migration that can explain the existence of Hot Jupiters observed in close orbits around their stars based on a novel interpretation of established work. We also discuss the population of sub-Earth rogue planets that would be created via this migration method, which would be on the order of 2 to 40 billion, many of which would still be present in the Galaxy and potentially detectable.
