An intriguing correlation between the masses and periods of the transiting planets.

MAZEH T., ZUCKER S. and PONT F.

Abstract (from CDS):

We point out an intriguing relation between the masses of the transiting planets and their orbital periods. For the six currently known transiting planets, the data are consistent with a decreasing linear relation. The other known short-period planets, discovered through radial-velocity techniques, seem to agree with this relation. We briefly speculate about a tentative physical model to explain such a dependence.
