Giant planets on short-period orbits are predicted to be inflated and eventually engulfed by their host stars. However, the detailed timescales and stages of these processes are not well known. Here we present the discovery of three hot Jupiters (P $, Comment: 22 pages, 15 figures, accepted for publication in the Astronomical Journal
