Evidence That the Occurrence Rate of Hot Jupiters around Sun-like Stars Decreases with Stellar Age

Evidence That the Occurrence Rate of Hot Jupiters around Sun-like Stars Decreases with Stellar Age

Abstract We investigate how the occurrence rate of giant planets (minimum mass > 0.3 M Jup ) around Sun-like stars depends on the age, mass, and metallicity of their host stars. We develop a hierarchical Bayesian framework to infer the number of planets per star (NPPS) as a function of …
