The Transiting Exoplanet Community Early Release Science Program [PDF]

, 2017
JWST presents the opportunity to transform our understanding of planets and the origins of life by revealing the atmospheric compositions, structures, and dynamics of transiting exoplanets in unprecedented detail. However, the high-precision, time-series

Dependence of Planet Populations on Stellar Mass and Metallicity: A Pebble-accretion-based Planet Population Synthesis Model

The Astrophysical Journal
The formation and evolution of planetary systems are linked to their host stellar environment. In this study, we employ a pebble-accretion-based planet population synthesis model to explore the correlation between planetary properties and stellar mass ...

Prioritizing High-Precision Photometric Monitoring of Exoplanet and Brown Dwarf Companions with JWST -- Strategic Exoplanet Initiatives with HST and JWST White Paper [PDF]

We advocate for the prioritization of high-precision photometric monitoring of exoplanet and brown dwarf companions to detect brightness variability arising from features in their atmospheres.

Records of migration in the exoplanet configurations [PDF]

, 2013
When compared to our Solar System, many exoplanet systems exhibit quite unusual planet configurations; some of these are hot Jupiters, which orbit their central stars with periods of a few days, others are resonant systems composed of two or more planets

An Eccentric Sub-Neptune Moving Into the Evaporation Desert

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Though missions such as Kepler, K2, and TESS have discovered >2000 sub-Neptune and Neptunian planets, there is a dearth of such planets at close-in ( P ≲ 3 days) orbits. This feature, called the Neptune desert or the evaporation desert, is believed to be

Modeling Clouds in Brown Dwarf and Exoplanet Giant Planet Atmospheres [PDF]

, 2018
Clouds and hazes are commonplace in the atmospheres of solar system planets and are likely ubiquitous in the atmospheres of extrasolar planets as well. Clouds affect every aspect of a planetary atmosphere, from the transport of radiation, to atmospheric ...

Toward High-precision Mass Measurements of Two Sub-Neptunes in the K2-266 Planetary System Through Transit Timing

The Astronomical Journal
Sub-Neptunes have been found to be one of the most common types of exoplanets, yet their physical parameters and properties are poorly determined and in need of further investigation.

Architecture Classification for Extrasolar Planetary Systems

The Astronomical Journal
This paper presents a classification framework for the architectures of planetary systems based on a complete survey of the confirmed exoplanet population. With nearly 6000 confirmed exoplanets discovered, including more than 300 multiplanet systems with
