Giant exoplanets orbiting close to their host stars are unlikely to have formed in their present configurations 1. These `hot Jupiter' planets are instead thought to have migrated inward from beyond the ice line and several viable migration channels have been proposed, including eccentricity excitation through angular-momentum exchange with a third
