Abstract

Context. More than 40 planets have been found around giant stars, revealing a lack of systems orbiting interior to ~0.6 AU. This observational fact contrasts with the planetary population around solar-type stars and has been interpreted as the result of the orbital evolution of planets through the interaction with the host star and/or because of a different formation/migration scenario of planets around more massive stars.
