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 …

In the past few years, significant advances have been made in understanding the
distributions of exoplanet populations and the architecture of planetary systems. We review …

Context. Previous theoretical works on planet formation around low-mass stars have often
been limited to large planets and individual systems. As current surveys routinely detect …

Recent observations revealed a bimodal radius distribution of small, short-period exoplanets
with a paucity in their occurrence, a radius 'valley', around 1.5–2.0 R⊕. In this work, we …

Our understanding of planet formation has been rapidly evolving in recent years. The
classical planet formation theory, developed when the only known planetary system was our …

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 …

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 …

Studies of exoplanet demographics require large samples and precise constraints on
exoplanet host stars. Using the homogeneous Kepler stellar properties derived using the …

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 …

We present an analysis of a volume-complete sample of 363 mid-to-late M dwarfs within 15
pc of the Sun with masses between 0.1 and 0.3 M⊙ observed by TESS within sectors 1–42 …
