The California-Kepler Survey. X. The radius gap as a function of stellar mass, metallicity, and age
Abstract In 2017, the California-Kepler Survey (CKS) published its first data release (DR1) of

Core-powered mass-loss and the radius distribution of small exoplanets
Recent observations identify a valley in the radius distribution of small exoplanets, with
planets in the range 1.5–2.0 R⊕ significantly less common than somewhat smaller or larger …

A compositional link between rocky exoplanets and their host stars
Stars and planets both form by accreting material from a surrounding disk. Because they
grow from the same material, theory predicts that there should be a relationship between …
