We call planets like that “hot Jupiters”.

我们把这样的行星称为“热木星”。

Such skewed orbits are common for so-called hot Jupiters—gas giants that orbit close to their hosts.

这种歪斜轨道在所谓“热木星”——近距离围绕恒星运行的气态巨星——中很常见。

Hot Jupiters are the easiest to find, because they're massive and fast, making their signal easier to detect.

热木星是最容易被发现的，因为它们质量大，速度快，使得它们的信号更容易被发现。

Kepler also helped prove that hot Jupiters are common. These are gas giants which orbit implausibly close to their stars.

开普勒还帮助证实了“热木星”的普遍性。它们是气体巨星，围绕距离它们非常之近的恒星轨道而行。
