The Roman Microlensing Survey: Confirmation or Refutation of Gas Giant Exoplanet Formation Theories [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalExoplanet research has moved from the discovery of new classes of planets toward creating a census of exoplanet population demographics across the spectrum of exoplanet and host star masses.

Atmospheric signatures of giant exoplanet formation by pebble accretion [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 Atmospheric chemical abundances of giant planets lead to important constraints on planetary formation and migration. Studies have shown that giant planets that migrate through the protoplanetary disc can accrete substantial amounts of oxygen-rich planetesimals, leading to supersolar metallicities in the envelope and solar or subsolar C/O ratios. Pebble

Characterization of exoplanets from their formation [PDF]
Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2012 A first characterization of many exoplanets has recently been achieved by the observational determination of their radius. For some planets, a measurement of the luminosity has also been possible, with many more directly imaged planets expected in the future.

Collisional formation of massive exomoons of superterrestrial exoplanets [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT Exomoons orbiting terrestrial or superterrestrial exoplanets have not yet been discovered; their possible existence and properties are therefore still an unresolved question. Here, we explore the collisional formation of exomoons through giant planetary impacts. We make use of smooth particle hydrodynamical collision simulations

Let’s Sweep: The Effect of Evolving J 2 on the Resonant Structure of a Three-planet System
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Short and ultrashort period planets are peculiar types of exoplanets with periods as short as a few days or less. Although it is challenging to detect them, already several have been observed, with many additional candidates.

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We investigate and compare the composition of M-dwarf planets in systems with only one known planet (“singles”) to those residing in multiplanet systems (“multis”) and the fundamental properties of their host stars.

LkCa 15: A YOUNG EXOPLANET CAUGHT AT FORMATION? [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 Young and directly imaged exoplanets offer critical tests of planet-formation models that are not matched by RV surveys of mature stars. These targets have been extremely elusive to date, with no exoplanets younger than 10--20 Myr and only a handful of direct-imaged exoplanets at all ages.

Characterization of exoplanets from their formation [PDF]
Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2012 The research of exoplanets has entered an era in which we characterize extrasolar planets. This has become possible with measurements of radii and luminosities. Meanwhile, radial velocity surveys discover also very low-mass planets. Uniting all this observational data into one coherent picture to better understand planet formation is an important, but ...
