The detection of exoplanets orbiting other stars has revolutionized our view of the cosmos.
First results suggest that it is teeming with a fascinating diversity of rocky planets, including …

Over the past two decades, large strides have been made in the field of planet formation. Yet
fundamental questions remain. Here we review our state of understanding of five …

We present a study of 33 Kepler planet-candidate host stars for which asteroseismic
observations have sufficiently high signal-to-noise ratio to allow extraction of individual …

Young exoplanets are snapshots of the planetary evolution process. Planets that orbit stars
in young associations are particularly important because the age of the planetary system is …

Solar system planets move on almost circular orbits. In strong contrast, many massive gas
giant exoplanets travel on highly elliptical orbits, whereas the shape of the orbits of smaller …

The advent of space-based missions like Kepler has revolutionized the study of solar-type
stars, particularly through the measurement and modeling of their resonant modes of …

We conduct a uniform analysis of the transit timing variations (TTVs) of 145 planets from 55
Kepler multiplanet systems to infer planet masses and eccentricities. Eighty of these planets …

The internal properties of stars in the red-giant phase undergo significant changes on
relatively short timescales. Long near-uninterrupted high-precision photometric timeseries …

The dynamical influence of binary companions is expected to profoundly influence planetary
systems. However, the difficulty of identifying planets in binary systems has left the …

Simulations predict that hot super-Earth sized exoplanets can have their envelopes stripped
by photoevaporation, which would present itself as a lack of these exoplanets. However, this …
