We trace the evolution of research on extreme solar and solar-terrestrial events from the
1859 Carrington event to the rapid development of the last twenty years. Our focus is on the …

The basic geometry of the Solar System—the shapes, spacings, and orientations of the
planetary orbits—has long been a subject of fascination as well as inspiration for planet …

We used high-precision radial velocity measurements of FGKM stars to determine the
occurrence of giant planets as a function of orbital separation spanning 0.03–30 au. Giant …

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 size of a planet is an observable property directly connected to the physics of its
formation and evolution. We used precise radius measurements from the California-Kepler …

The distribution of planet sizes encodes details of planet formation and evolution. We
present the most precise planet size distribution to date based on Gaia parallaxes, Kepler …

A new piece of evidence supporting the photoevaporation-driven evolution model for low-
mass, close-in exoplanets was recently presented by the California–Kepler Survey. The …

Abstract NASA's Kepler Space Telescope was designed to determine the frequency of Earth-
sized planets orbiting Sun-like stars, but these planets are on the very edge of the mission's …

An accurate and precise Kepler Stellar Properties Catalog is essential for the interpretation
of the Kepler exoplanet survey results. Previous Kepler Stellar Properties Catalogs have …

Context. The CARMENES exoplanet survey of M dwarfs has obtained more than 18 000
spectra of 329 nearby M dwarfs over the past five years as part of its guaranteed time …
