The Kepler-observed distribution of planet sizes has revealed two distinct patterns: (1) a radius valley separating super-Earths and sub-Neptunes and (2) a preference for intrasystem size similarity.

Exoplanet mass and radius inferences fundamentally rely on host star mass and radius inferences. Despite the importance of host star mass, radius, and elemental abundance inferences for the derivation of exoplanet internal structure constraints ...

Hot Spot Offset Variability from Magnetohydrodynamical Thermoresistive Instability in Hot Jupiters
Hot Jupiter (HJ) atmospheres are possibly subject to a thermoresistive instability (TRI). Such an instability may develop as the ohmic heating increases the electrical conductivity in a positive feedback loop, which ultimately leads to a runaway of the ...

Unexpected Near-Resonant and Metastable States of Young Multiplanet Systems
Recent 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 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 ...

Warm Jupiter Tidal Migration Can Spare Inner Planets; Hot Jupiter Tidal Migration May Not
In this work, we investigate the dynamical survival of short-period inner planets during the high-eccentricity tidal migration of companion exterior giant planets.

No Strong Associations between Eccentricity and Orbital Architecture in Kepler Compact Multis
The dynamical history of a planetary system is recorded in the present day architecture of its constituent planets’ sizes, orbital periods, and eccentricities.
