Bodenheimer et al. 2000 (planet formation)
Fischer & Valenti 2005 (relationship between stellar metallicity and prevalence of planets - I remind the reader that in astronomer talk a metal is any element with Z > 2)
Butler et al. 2004 and Bonfils et al. 2005 (deficit of MJ planets orbiting M dwarfs) Note: Especially the latter of the two.
Chabrier & Braffe 2000 (size/mass relation in substellar bodies) Relevant as an object detected with ~jovian radius by the transit method may turn out to be a brown dwarf by mass under the radial velocity method. That is, although Jupiter is not the most massive of planets, it is just about the largest.
Bouchy et al. 2005b (unclear referenece in paper, curious to follow up)
Laughlin et al. 2005 (planetary structure and measurement)
Charbonneau et al. 2002; Deming et al. 2005a; Narita et al. 2005; Charbonneau et al. 2005; Deming et al. 2005b (detection of planetary atmospheric composition in absorption/emission features)
