Planetary migration is a new process that has been added to the nebular theory of solar system formation. What type of planet, that does not exist in our solar system, made this change to the theory necessary? super-Earths O Jovian planets beyond the "frost line" O mini-Neptunes O hot Jupiters O terrestrial planets in the habitable zone
