"hot Jupiter"
Could a "hot Jupiter" or "super earth" exist in an orbit 1 AU from a star like our own?
if so, could an Earth size planet be in its L4 or L5 position without being tidally locked to either the planet or the star?
The blackbody temperature at 1 AU is about 250°K what would keep a hot Jupiter hot ?
