Searching for Snapshots of Giant Exoplanet Migration

NEID, an extreme precision Doppler spectrograph on the WIYN 3.5-meter Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory (a partnership between Indiana University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Pennsylvania State University, Princeton University,
Purdue University, NSF’s NOIRLab, and NASA), is helping unravel the origin of hot Jupiters. These giant exoplanets, orbiting their host stars with periods of less than 10 days, have challenged our understading of planet formation for decades.
