HD3651B: the first directly imaged brown dwarf companion of an exoplanet host star [PDF]

, 2006
In the course of our ongoing multiplicity study of exoplanet host stars we detected a faint companion located at ~43arcsec (480AU physical projected separation) north-west of its primary -- the exoplanet host star HD3651 at 11pc.

THE INFLUENCE OF MAGNETIC FIELD GEOMETRY ON THE FORMATION OF CLOSE-IN EXOPLANETS [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2016
ABSTRACT Approximately half of Sun-like stars harbor exoplanets packed within a radius of ∼0.3 au, but the formation of these planets and why they form in only half of known systems are still not well understood. We employ a one-dimensional steady-state model to gain physical insight into the origin of these close-in exoplanets.

Scaling K2. VI. Reduced Small-planet Occurrence in High-galactic-amplitude Stars

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
In this study, we performed a homogeneous analysis of the planets around FGK dwarf stars observed by the Kepler and K2 missions, providing spectroscopic parameters for 310 K2 targets —including 239 Scaling K2 hosts—observed with Keck/HIRES.

Theoretical models of planetary system formation. II. Post-formation evolution [PDF]

, 2015
We extend the results of planetary formation synthesis by computing the long-term evolution of synthetic systems from the clearing of the gas disk into the dynamical evolution phase.

Hot Jupiters Have Giant Companions: Evidence for Coplanar High-eccentricity Migration

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
This study considers the characteristics of planetary systems with giant planets based on a population-level analysis of the California Legacy Survey planet catalog. We identified three characteristics common to hot Jupiters (HJs).

Planet Populations as a Function of Stellar Properties

, 2018
Exoplanets around different types of stars provide a window into the diverse environments in which planets form. This chapter describes the observed relations between exoplanet populations and stellar properties and how they connect to planet formation ...

Emergent Exoplanet Flux: Review of the Spitzer Results [PDF]

, 2008
Observations using the Spitzer Space Telescope provided the first detections of photons from extrasolar planets. Spitzer observations are allowing us to infer the temperature structure, composition, and dynamics of exoplanet atmospheres.

Orbital Migration of Protoplanets in a Marginally Gravitationally Unstable Disk. II. Migration, Merging, and Ejection

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Protoplanets formed in a marginally gravitationally unstable (MGU) disk by either core accretion or disk instability will be subject to dynamical interactions with massive spiral arms, possibly resulting in inward or outward orbital migration, mergers ...

Radial velocity eclipse mapping of exoplanets [PDF]

, 2015
Planetary rotation rates and obliquities provide information regarding the history of planet formation, but have not yet been measured for evolved extrasolar planets.

Evidence for Low-level Dynamical Excitation in Near-resonant Exoplanet Systems

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
The geometries of near-resonant planetary systems offer a relatively pristine window into the initial conditions of exoplanet systems. Given that near-resonant systems have likely experienced minimal dynamical disruptions, the spin–orbit orientations of ...
