Lack of close-in, massive planets of main-sequence A-type stars from Kepler
Abstract
Some theories of planet formation and evolution predict that intermediate-mass stars host more hot Jupiters than Sun-like stars, others reach the conclusion that such objects are very rare. By determining the frequencies of those planets we can test those theories.
