Planets intermediate in size between the Earth and Neptune, and orbiting closer to their host
stars than Mercury does the Sun, are the most common type of planet revealed by exoplanet …

Rocky planets are common around other stars, but their atmospheric properties remain
largely unconstrained. Thanks to a wealth of recent planet discoveries and upcoming …

Characterizing rocky exoplanets is a central aim of astronomy, and yet the search for
atmospheres on rocky exoplanets has so far resulted in either tight upper limits on the …

We demonstrate that the deep volatile storage capacity of magma oceans has significant
implications for the bulk composition, interior, and climate state inferred from exoplanet mass …

Recent studies have shown that atmospheric mass-loss powered by the cooling luminosity
of a planet's core can explain the observed radius valley separating super-Earths and sub …

The radius distribution of small, close-in exoplanets has recently been shown to be bimodal.
The photoevaporation model predicted this bimodality. In the photoevaporation scenario …

The extreme ultraviolet (EUV)/X-ray photoevaporation and core-powered mass-loss models
are both capable of reproducing the bimodality in the sizes of small, close-in exoplanets …

The distribution of close-in exoplanets is shaped by a complex interplay between
atmospheric and dynamical processes. The Desert-Rim Exoplanets Atmosphere and …

K2-141 b is a transiting, small (1.5 R⊕) ultra-short-period (USP) planet discovered by the
Kepler space telescope orbiting a K-dwarf host star every 6.7 h. The planet's high surface …

The two primary observable quantities of an exoplanet—its mass and radius—alone are not
sufficient to probe a rocky exoplanet's interior composition and mineralogy. To overcome …
