Planetary Formation

[ihwip]

OK, here me out here. I'm using: http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/071108-hot-planets.html as a reference.<br /><br />If a star has a tidally locked hot jupiter rotating around it wouldn't this hot jupiter have a coma that is constantly spewing out hot gasses into the outer area of their star system?<br /><br />It makes me wonder if we are missing something big in planetary formation theories. If a star ignites, the solar wind should send particles out to a distance where it reaches equilibrium.<br /><br />What if the rocky inner planets of our solar system are simply the remnants of hot jupiters that have mostly been blasted free of their lighter elements?

"What if the rocky inner planets of our solar system are simply the remnants of hot jupiters that have mostly been blasted free of their lighter elements?"<br /><br />I have assumed this is true for H and HE. I do not recall if this is something I read or just assumed.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
