Signs of Similar Stellar Obliquity Distributions for Hot and Warm Jupiters Orbiting Cool Stars
The Astronomical JournalTransiting giant planets provide a natural opportunity to examine stellar obliquities, which offer clues about the origin and dynamical histories of close-in planets.

A Tale of Dynamical Instabilities and Giant Impacts in the Exoplanet Radius Valley
The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe size distribution of planets with radii between 1 R _⊕ and 4 R _⊕ peaks near 1.4 R _⊕ and 2.2 R _⊕ , with a dip around 1.8 R _⊕ —the so-called “radius valley.” Recent statistical analyses suggest that planets within this valley (1.5

Planet formation – implication of statistical properties of exoplanets
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2010 Models of planetary formation are developed based on the observation of our Solar System, star-forming regions and circumstellar disks and on an the ever increasing number of exoplanetary systems. The solar nebula theory and the planetesimal hypothesis are discussed.

Cloud formation in exoplanet atmospheres : nucleation of small molecular clusters
, 2023 It has been inferred that many exoplanets host clouds in their atmospheres. Understanding the processes through which these clouds form, and being able to model them is essential for our understanding of their climate and to explain our observations.

Most Super-Earths Have Less Than 3% Water
The Astrophysical JournalSuper-Earths are highly irradiated, small planets with bulk densities approximately consistent with Earth. We construct combined interior atmosphere models of super-Earths that trace the partitioning of water throughout a planet, including an iron-rich ...

Early Accretion of Large Amounts of Solids for Directly Imaged Exoplanets
The Astrophysical JournalAs the number of planetary-mass objects (PMOs; ⪅13 M _Jupiter ) at wider separation (⪆10 au) grows, there is emerging evidence that they form differently from their higher-mass brown dwarf counterparts.

The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe correlation between the inner small planets and cold giants encodes the formation and evolution of planetary systems. It remains unclear if the correlation differs on the two sides of the radius valley.

The Polar Orbit of TOI-2374 b, a Planet in the Neptunian Ridge
The Astronomical JournalThe “Neptunian ridge” is a recently identified peak in the frequency of planets with sizes between that of Neptune and Saturn orbiting their host stars with periods between 3 and 6 days.
