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.

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.

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.

Characterisation of exoplanet host stars: A window into planet formation [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2017 AbstractThe detection of thousands of planets orbiting stars other than the Sun has shown that planets are common throughout the Galaxy. However, the diversity of systems found has also raised many questions regarding the process of planet formation and evolution. Interestingly, but perhaps not unexpectedly, crucial information to constraint the planet

The Compositions of the HR 8799 Planets Reflect Accretion of Both Solids and Metal-enriched Gas
The Astrophysical JournalWith four giant planets ( m ∼ 5 M _Jup −10 M _Jup , T _eff ∼ 900–1200 K) orbiting between 15 and 70 au, HR 8799 provides an unparalleled test bed for studying giant planet formation and probing compositional trends across the protoplanetary disk.

Testing the Origin of Hot Jupiters with Atmospheric Surveys
The Astrophysical JournalIn spite of their long detection history, the origin of hot Jupiters remains to be resolved. While dynamical evidence suggests high-eccentricity migration is most likely, conflicts remain when considering hot Jupiters as a population in the context of ...
