Talk:Eccentric Jupiter

Links
The article will prob survive the AfD nomination. When searching for the real term usage in ADSABS I found: Hereby dumped. Rursus dixit. ( m bork3 !) 18:21, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) The Spin-Orbit Alignment of the HD 17156 Transiting Eccentric Planetary System, by Cochran + 3, using eccentric Jovian planet – poss a little 2 specialized? – and
 * 2) Making other earths: dynamical simulations of terrestrial planet formation and water delivery, by Raymond + 2, using eccentric Jupiter – prob of interest for this article expansion – then
 * 3)  on NASA.gov uses exactly eccentric Jupiter and
 * 4)  also on NASA.gov using eccentric Jupiter and
 * 5) Extrasolar Planets: A Matter of Metallicity on spaceref.com based on NASA Astrobiology Institute using eccentric Jupiters

"Surprising result"
The article says that "One surprising result that has come out of the more than 200 extrasolar planet discoveries as of 2006 is that 15 planets have high eccentricities (e > 0.6)." Why is this surprising? Was the expectation for more or fewer highly eccentric planets? cmadler (talk) 19:13, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Exomoon's within Hill Sphere radius
This article is sorely lacking in mention of habitable moons that could form within the minimum/perihelion Hill Sphere Radius. Whoever added the mention of habitable planets in the first place should find what is available as a reference for the reverse argument, because if the period is short enough the eccentricity doesn't matter so much for moons of the gas giant. To clarify I'm not asking for unoffical speculation, I asking for referenced mentions on the subject of moons that orbit eccentric extrasolar gas giants. 205.200.202.107 (talk) 15:50, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
