A massive Giant Planet at ~10AU explains: The inner warp and other disk asymetries The FEBs Implications on planet formation scenari : Giant Planets form rapidly (< a few Myr) Formation process: could be core accretion (see Keenedy & Kenyon 08) Test of evolutionary model: unique test given its short period
