Conclusive evidence for a population of water worlds around M dwarfs remains elusive
The population of small, close-in exoplanets is bifurcated into super-Earths and sub-
Neptunes. We calculate physically motivated mass–radius relations for sub-Neptunes, with …

The California-Kepler Survey. X. The radius gap as a function of stellar mass, metallicity, and age
Abstract In 2017, the California-Kepler Survey (CKS) published its first data release (DR1) of
high-resolution optical spectra of 1305 planet hosts. Refined CKS planet radii revealed that …

The exoplanet radius valley from gas-driven planet migration and breaking of resonant chains
The size frequency distribution of exoplanet radii between 1 and 4R⊕ is bimodal with peaks
at∼ 1.4 R⊕ and∼ 2.4 R⊕, and a valley at∼ 1.8 R⊕. This radius valley separates two …

A deep radius valley revealed by Kepler short cadence observations
The characteristics of the radius valley, ie an observed lack of planets between 1.5 and 2
Earth radii at periods shorter than about 100 d, provide insights into the formation and …

A catalog of habitable zone exoplanets
The search for habitable planets has revealed many planets that can vary greatly from an
Earth analog environment. These include highly eccentric orbits, giant planets, different bulk …

Double trouble: two transits of the super-Earth GJ 1132 b observed with JWST NIRSpec G395H
The search for rocky planet atmospheres with JWST has focused on planets transiting M
dwarfs. Such planets have favorable planet-to-star size ratios, enhancing the amplitude of …

Map** out the parameter space for photoevaporation and core-powered mass-loss
Understanding atmospheric escape in close-in exoplanets is critical to interpreting their
evolution. We map out the parameter space over which photoevaporation and core-powered …

A radius valley between migrated steam worlds and evaporated rocky cores
The radius valley (or gap) in the observed distribution of exoplanet radii, which separates
smaller super-Earths from larger sub-Neptunes, is a key feature that theoretical models must …

High tide or riptide on the cosmic shoreline? A water-rich atmosphere or stellar contamination for the warm super-earth gj 486b from JWST observations
Planets orbiting M-dwarf stars are prime targets in the search for rocky exoplanet
atmospheres. The small size of M dwarfs renders their planets exceptional targets for …
