Dependence of Planet Populations on Stellar Mass and Metallicity: A Pebble-accretion-based Planet Population Synthesis Model

The Astrophysical Journal
The formation and evolution of planetary systems are linked to their host stellar environment. In this study, we employ a pebble-accretion-based planet population synthesis model to explore the correlation between planetary properties and stellar mass ...

Thermophysical States of MgSiO3 Liquid up to Terapascal Pressures: Implications for Magma Oceans in Super‐Earths and Sub‐Neptunes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Thermophysical properties of silicate liquids under extreme conditions are critical for understanding the accretion and evolution of super‐Earths and sub‐Neptunes. The thermal equation of state and viscosity of silicate liquids determine the adiabatic profiles and dynamics of magma oceans. However, these properties are challenging to constrain

EUCLID : Dark Universe Probe and Microlensing planet Hunter

, 2010
There is a remarkable synergy between requirements for Dark Energy probes by cosmic shear measurements and planet hunting by microlensing. Employing weak and strong gravitational lensing to trace and detect the distribution of matter on cosmic and ...

Resonant and Ultra-short-period Planet Systems Are at Opposite Ends of the Exoplanet Age Distribution

The Astronomical Journal
Exoplanet systems are thought to evolve on secular timescales over billions of years. This evolution is impossible to directly observe on human timescales in most individual systems.

Peas-in-a-pod across the Radius Valley: Rocky Systems Are Less Uniform in Mass but More Uniform in Size and Spacing

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The ubiquity of “peas-in-a-pod” architectural patterns and the existence of the radius valley each presents a striking population-level trend for planets with R _p ≤ 4 R _⊕ that serves to place powerful constraints on the formation and evolution of these

Astro2020 Science White Paper: Toward Finding Earth 2.0: Masses and Orbits of Small Planets with Extreme Radial Velocity Precision [PDF]

, 2019
Having discovered that Earth-sized planets are common, we are now embarking on a journey to determine if Earth-like planets are also common. Finding Earth-like planets is one of the most compelling endeavors of the 21st century - leading us toward ...

Planet Mass Function around M Stars at 1–10 au: A Plethora of Sub-Earth Mass Objects

The Astrophysical Journal
Small planets (≲1 M _⊕ ) at intermediate orbital distances (∼1 au) represent an uncharted territory in exoplanetary science. The upcoming microlensing survey by the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will be sensitive to objects as light as Ganymede and ...

Observations of Exoplanet Atmospheres

, 2015
Detailed characterization of an extrasolar planet's atmosphere provides the best hope for distinguishing the makeup of its outer layers, and the only hope for understanding the interplay between initial composition, chemistry, dynamics & circulation, and

Chemical Mapping of Temperate Sub-Neptune Atmospheres: Constraining the Deep Interior H2O/H2 Ratio from the Atmospheric CO2/CH4 Ratio

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Understanding the planetary envelope composition of sub-Neptune-type exoplanets is challenging due to the inherent degeneracy in their interior composition scenarios.

Searching for Exosatellites Orbiting L and T Dwarfs: Connecting Planet Formation to Moon Formation and Finding New Temperate Worlds [PDF]

, 2019
L-type and T-type dwarfs span the boundaries between main-sequence stars, brown dwarfs, and planetary-mass objects. For these reasons, L and T dwarfs are the perfect laboratories for exploring the relationship between planet formation and moon formation,
