The Nature and Origins of Sub‐Neptune Size Planets
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 …

Exoplanet statistics and theoretical implications
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 …

California legacy survey. II. Occurrence of giant planets beyond the ice line
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 …

Gaps and Rings in an ALMA Survey of Disks in the Taurus Star-forming Region
Rings are the most frequently revealed substructure in Atacama Large Millimeter/
submillimeter Array (ALMA) dust observations of protoplanetary disks, but their origin is still …

Growth model interpretation of planet size distribution
The radii and orbital periods of 4,000+ confirmed/candidate exoplanets have been precisely
measured by the Kepler mission. The radii show a bimodal distribution, with two peaks …

Hints for a turnover at the snow line in the giant planet occurrence rate
RB Fernandes, GD Mulders, I Pascucci… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
The orbital distribution of giant planets is crucial for understanding how terrestrial planets
form and predicting yields of exoplanet surveys. Here, we derive giant planets occurrence …

Dust masses of young disks: constraining the initial solid reservoir for planet formation
Context. Recent years have seen building evidence that planet formation starts early, in the
first~ 0.5 Myr. Studying the dust masses available in young disks enables us to understand …

Planet formation theory in the era of ALMA and Kepler: from pebbles to exoplanets
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 …

The exoplanet population observation simulator. I. the inner edges of planetary systems
The Kepler survey provides a statistical census of planetary systems out to the habitable
zone. Because most planets are non-transiting, orbital architectures are best estimated …

A rich population of free-floating planets in the Upper Scorpius young stellar association
The nature and origin of free-floating planets (FFPs) are still largely unconstrained because
of a lack of large homogeneous samples to enable a statistical analysis of their properties …
