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

On the Local Formation of the TRAPPIST-1 Exoplanets
The Astronomical JournalAbstract The discovery of seven approximately Earth-mass planets orbiting the 0.09 M ⊙ M dwarf TRAPPIST-1 captivated the public and sparked a proliferation of investigations into the system’s origins. Among other properties, the resonant architecture of the planets has been interpreted to imply that orbital migration ...

The eccentricity-mass distribution of exoplanets: signatures ofdifferent formation mechanisms? [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2007 We examine the distributions of eccentricity and host star metallicity of exoplanets as a function of their mass. Planets with M sin i >~ 4 M_J have an eccentricity distribution consistent with that of binary stars, while planets with M sin ...

The Astronomical JournalAbstract Producing optimized and accurate transmission spectra of exoplanets from telescope data has traditionally been a manual and labor intensive procedure. Here we present the results of the first attempt to improve and standardize this procedure by using artificial-intelligence-based (AI-based) processing of light curves and ...
