The Exoplanet Radius Valley from Gas-driven Planet Migration and Breaking of Resonant Chains [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 Abstract The size frequency distribution of exoplanet radii between 1 and 4R ⊕ is bimodal with peaks at ∼1.4 R ⊕ and ∼2.4 R ⊕, and a valley at ∼1.8 R ⊕. This radius valley separates two classes of planets—usually referred to as “super-Earths” and “mini-Neptunes”—and ...

Signatures of Atmospheric Mass Loss and Planet Migration in the Time Evolution of Short-period Transiting Exoplanets [PDF]
The Astronomical JournalComparative studies of young and old exoplanet populations offer a glimpse into how planets may form and evolve with time. We present an occurrence rate study of short-period (

Quantifying Orbital Migration from Exoplanet Statistics and Host Metallicities
Astrophysical Journal, 2005 We investigate how the statistical distribution of extrasolar planets may be combined with knowledge of the host stars' metallicity to yield constraints on the migration histories of gas giant planets. At any radius, planets that barely manage to form around the lowest metallicity stars accrete their envelopes just as the gas disk is being dissipated ...

exoMMR: A New Python Package to Confirm and Characterize Mean Motion Resonances
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The study of orbital resonances allows for the constraint of planetary properties of compact systems. We can predict a system’s resonances by observing the orbital periods of the planets, as planets in or near mean motion resonance (MMR) have period ...
