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 ...

ABSTRACT Background Video data provides rich opportunities to examine student behaviour in game‐based learning environments, capturing not only observable actions but also subtle indicators of cognitive engagement. However, traditional video analysis is labor‐intensive, and current applications of AI to this task are limited by models trained on ...

The 0.5MJ transiting exoplanet WASP-13b [PDF]
We report the discovery of WASP-13b, a low-mass $ M_{\rm p} = 0.46 ^_~M_J$ transiting exoplanet with an orbital period of 4.35298 $\pm$ 0.00004 days. The transit has a depth of 9 mmag, and although our follow-up photometry does not allow us to constrain ...

An Outer Giant Planet or Brown Dwarf in the 51 Pegasi System?
51 Pegasi harbors the first confirmed extrasolar planet orbiting a Sun-like star. Decades of continued radial velocity (RV) observations have since uncovered signatures of an additional distant companion in the system from a shallow radial acceleration ...

Massive Rocky Planets May Suppress Deep Melting
Abstract Melting properties of silicates are critical to understanding the thermal evolution of rocky planetary interiors. In the deep mantles of massive rocky planets, post‐post‐spinel Mg2SiO4 ${\text{Mg}}_{2}{\text{SiO}}_{4}$ is potentially one of the most abundant mineral phases, yet its melting behavior remains unconstrained. Here, we determine the

Pushing the envelope of exoplanet evolution modelling [PDF]
Propelled by the discovery of the first exoplanet thirty years ago, the scientific community has rallied and made tremendous strides towards a full understand of the formation and evolution of planetary systems. During this period, over 4, 300 confirmed exoplanets have been detected, and the resulting dataset has driven a revolution by allowing for new

Thermal evolution of rocky exoplanets with a graphite outer shell [PDF]
The presence of rocky exoplanets with a large refractory carbon inventory is predicted by chemical evolution models of protoplanetary disks of stars with photospheric C/O >0.65, and by models studying the radial transport of refractory carbon. High-pressure high-temperature laboratory experiments show that most of the carbon in these exoplanets ...
