A Quantitative Comparison of Exoplanet Catalogs [PDF]
Geosciences, 2018 In this study, we investigated the differences between four commonly-used exoplanet catalogs (exoplanet.eu; exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu; openexoplanetcatalogue.com; exoplanets.org) using a Kolmogorov–Smirnov (KS) test.

Scaling K2. V. Statistical Validation of 60 New Exoplanets From K2 Campaigns 2–18
The Astronomical Journal, 2022 The NASA K2 mission, salvaged from the hardware failures of the Kepler telescope, has continued Kepler’s planet-hunting success. It has revealed nearly 500 transiting planets around the ecliptic plane, many of which are the subject of further study, and ...

The K2 and TESS Synergy. II. Revisiting 26 Systems in the TESS Primary Mission
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The legacy of NASA’s K2 mission has provided hundreds of transiting exoplanets that can be revisited by new and future facilities for further characterization, with a particular focus on studying the atmospheres of these systems. However, the majority of

The Demographics of Terrestrial Planets in the Venus Zone
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Understanding the physical characteristics of Venus, including its atmosphere, interior, and its evolutionary pathway with respect to Earth, remains a vital component for terrestrial planet evolution models and the emergence and/or decline of planetary ...

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Most existing exoplanets are discovered using validation techniques rather than being confirmed by complementary observations. These techniques generate a score that is typically the probability of the transit signal being an exoplanet ( y ( x ...

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Planets in young star clusters could shed light on planet formation and evolution since star clusters can provide accurate age estimation. However, the number of transiting planets detected in clusters was only ∼30, too small for statistical analysis ...

Scaling K2. VI. Reduced Small-planet Occurrence in High-galactic-amplitude Stars
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 In this study, we performed a homogeneous analysis of the planets around FGK dwarf stars observed by the Kepler and K2 missions, providing spectroscopic parameters for 310 K2 targets —including 239 Scaling K2 hosts—observed with Keck/HIRES.

Prospects from TESS and Gaia to Constrain the Flatness of Planetary Systems
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The mutual inclination between planets orbiting the same star provides key information to understand the formation and evolution of multiplanet systems.

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 Despite the importance of Jupiter and Saturn to Earth’s formation and habitability, there has not yet been a comprehensive observational study of how giant exoplanets correlate with the architectural properties of close-in, sub-Neptune-sized exoplanets ...
