Evidence for the volatile-rich composition of a 1.5-Earth-radius planet [PDF]
Nature Astronomy, 2022 The population of planets smaller than approximately 1.7 Earth radii ( R _⊕) is widely interpreted as consisting of rocky worlds, generally referred to as super-Earths.

Venus, the Planet: Introduction to the Evolution of Earth’s Sister Planet
Space Science Reviews, 2023 Venus is the planet in the Solar System most similar to Earth in terms of size and (probably) bulk composition. Until the mid-20th century, scientists thought that Venus was a verdant world—inspiring science-fictional stories of heroes battling megafauna

EM-Earth: The Ensemble Meteorological Dataset for Planet Earth
Bulletin of The American Meteorological Society - (BAMS), 2022 Gridded meteorological estimates are essential for many applications. Most existing meteorological datasets are deterministic and have limitations in representing the inherent uncertainties from both the data and methodology used to create gridded ...

The First Habitable-zone Earth-sized Planet from TESS. I. Validation of the TOI-700 System [PDF]
Astronomical Journal, 2020 We present the discovery and validation of a three-planet system orbiting the nearby (31.1 pc) M2 dwarf star TOI-700 (TIC 150428135). TOI-700 lies in the TESS continuous viewing zone in the Southern Ecliptic Hemisphere; observations spanning 11 sectors ...

A candidate super-Earth planet orbiting near the snow line of Barnard’s star [PDF]
Nature, 2018 Barnard’s star is a red dwarf, and has the largest proper motion (apparent motion across the sky) of all known stars. At a distance of 1.8 parsecs1, it is the closest single star to the Sun; only the three stars in the α Centauri system are closer ...

Water vapour in the atmosphere of the habitable-zone eight-Earth-mass planet K2-18 b [PDF]
Nature Astronomy, 2019 In the past decade, observations from space and the ground have found water to be the most abundant molecular species, after hydrogen, in the atmospheres of hot, gaseous extrasolar planets1–5. Being the main molecular carrier of oxygen, water is a tracer

Discovery of a bright microlensing event with planetary features towards the Taurus region: a super-Earth planet [PDF]
, 2018 The transient event labeled as TCP J05074264+2447555 recently discovered towards the Taurus region was quickly recognized to be an ongoing microlensing event on a source located at distance of only $700-800$ pc from Earth. Here, we show that observations
