Ultra Short Period Planets
Abstract:
Some planets orbit extremely close to the stars, reaching orbital period shorter than 1 day. I will discuss their origin hypotheses (and possiblyb death) and what they tell us about the physics of star-planet interaction.

Dr. Eve J. Lee is an Associate Professor in the now 1-yr old Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics at UC San Diego where she leads a theoretical astrophysics group focusing on the formation of planets and stars. She received her Hon BSc with high distinction in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Toronto and her PhD in Astrophysics at UC Berkeley, after which she spent 2 years at Caltech as a Sherman Fairchild Postdoctoral Scholar in Theoretical Physics/Astrophysics. She was an Assistant Professor of Physics at McGill University in Montreal, Canada before coming back to Southern California in 2025 to help shape the brand new department at UC San Diego as a senior faculty. Dr. Lee received the 2022 Vainu Bappu Gold Medal by the Astronomical Society of India, and the 2022 Annie Jump Cannon Award by the American Astronomical Society (AAS), for which she gave a keynote lecture at the 2024 winter AAS meeting, in New Orleans, LA.
