Architecture Classification for Extrasolar Planetary Systems

open access: yesThe 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

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

open access: yesThe 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.

Dynamics of Two Planets near a 2:1 Resonance: Case Studies of Known and Synthetic Exosystems on a Grid of Initial Configurations

open access: yesUniverse
The distribution of period ratios for 580 known two-planet systems is apparently nonuniform, with several sharp peaks and troughs. In particular, the vicinity of the 2:1 commensurability seems to have a deficit of systems.

A Comprehensive Analysis of Spitzer 4.5 μm Phase Curves of Hot Jupiters

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Although exoplanetary science was not initially projected to be a substantial part of the Spitzer mission, its exoplanet observations set the stage for current and future surveys with JWST and Ariel.
