Unexpected Near-Resonant and Metastable States of Young Multiplanet Systems
The Astrophysical JournalRecent observations suggest that the incidence of near-resonant planets declines as planetary systems age, making young planetary systems key signposts of early dynamical evolution.

Clouds and Hazes in GJ 1214 b’s Metal-rich Atmosphere
The Astronomical JournalThe sub-Neptune GJ 1214 b has an infamously flat transmission spectrum, likely due to thick aerosols in its atmosphere. A recent JWST/MIRI spectroscopic phase curve of GJ 1214 b added to this picture, suggesting a highly reflective and metal-rich ...

Planet Mass Function around M Stars at 1–10 au: A Plethora of Sub-Earth Mass Objects
The Astrophysical JournalSmall planets (≲1 M _⊕ ) at intermediate orbital distances (∼1 au) represent an uncharted territory in exoplanetary science. The upcoming microlensing survey by the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will be sensitive to objects as light as Ganymede and ...
