The Not-so Dramatic Effect of Advective Flows on Gas Accretion
Super-Earths and mini-Neptunes are the most common types of exoplanets discovered, yet the physics of their formation are still debated. Standard core accretion models in gas-rich environments find that typical mini-Neptune mass planets would blow up ...

Ohmic Dissipation During the Formation of Super-Earth
The super-Earth population, as one of the representatives of exoplanets, plays an important role in constraining the planet formation theories. According to the prediction from core-accretion models, super-Earths should be rare because their masses are ...

Exoplanet interiors and habitability [PDF]
More than 1000 exoplanets with a radius smaller than twice that of the Earth are currently known, mainly thanks to space missions dedicated to the search of exoplanets.

Abstract We investigate the melt production of planetary impacts as a function of planet size (R/REarth $R/{R}_{\text{Earth}}$ = 0.1–1.5), impactor size (L $L$ = 1–1,000 km), and core size ratio (Rcore/R ${R}_{\text{core}}/R$ = 0.2–0.8) using a combination of parameterized convection models and fully dynamical 2D impact simulations.

On the relative importance of AGN winds for the evolution of exoplanet atmospheres
ABSTRACT Recent work investigating the impact of winds and outflows from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) on the habitability of exoplanets suggests that such activity could be deleterious for the long-term survival of planetary atmospheres and the habitability of planets subject to such winds.

Early evolution of purple retinal pigments on Earth and implications for exoplanet biosignatures [PDF]
AbstractWe propose that retinal-based phototrophy arose early in the evolution of life on Earth, profoundly impacting the development of photosynthesis and creating implications for the search for life beyond our planet. While the early evolutionary history of phototrophy is largely in the realm of the unknown, the onset of oxygenic photosynthesis in ...

Exoplanet Occurrence Rate with Age for FGK Stars in Kepler
We measure the exoplanet occurrence rate as a function of isochrone and gyrochronology ages using confirmed and candidate planets identified in Q1–17 DR25 Kepler data. We employ Kepler's pipeline detection efficiency to correct for the expected number of

A Unified Treatment of Kepler Occurrence to Trace Planet Evolution. I. Methodology
We present Kepler exoplanet occurrence rates for planets between 0.5 and 16 R _⊕ and between 1 and 400 days. To measure occurrence, we use a nonparametric method via a kernel density estimator and use bootstrap random sampling for uncertainty estimation.

Field‐Aligned Currents and Auroral Precipitation During the Terrestrial Alfvén Wing State
Abstract When sub‐Alfvénic (Alfvén Mach number MA< ${\mathrm{M}}_{A}< $1) plasmas impact Earth, Alfvén wings (AWs) develop. A Multiscale Atmosphere Geospace Environment simulation of the April 2023 storm, validated by Active Magnetosphere and Planetary Electrodynamics Response Experiment data, reveals the field‐aligned‐current (FAC) generation ...
