A new planet-hunting survey has revealed planetary candidates with orbital periods as short as four hours and so close to their host stars that they are nearly skimming the stellar surface. If confirmed, these candidates would be among the closest planets to their stars discovered so far. The team includes Carnegie's Christopher Stark and Alan Boss, as well as Elisabeth Adams of the Planetary Science Institute, Michael Endl of the McDonald Observatory, Phil Arras of the University of Virginia, and Drake Deming of the University of Maryland at College Park.
