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

Effects of Extreme Obliquity Variations on the Habitability of Exoplanets [PDF]
We explore the impact of obliquity variations on planetary habitability in hypothetical systems with high mutual inclination. We show that large amplitude, high frequency obliquity oscillations on Earth-like exoplanets can suppress the ice-albedo ...

Two Small Planets Transiting HD 3167 [PDF]
We report the discovery of two super-Earth-sized planets transiting the bright (V = 8.94, K = 7.07) nearby late G-dwarf HD 3167, using data collected by the K2 mission.

Giant Planet Observations in NASA’s Planetary Data System
While there have been far fewer missions to the outer Solar System than to the inner Solar System, spacecraft destined for the giant planets have conducted a wide range of fundamental investigations, returning data that continues to reshape our ...

Debris disks as signposts of terrestrial planet formation. II Dependence of exoplanet architectures on giant planet and disk properties [PDF]
We present models for the formation of terrestrial planets, and the collisional evolution of debris disks, in planetary systems that contain multiple unstable gas giants.

Kepler-47: A Transiting Circumbinary Multi-Planet System [PDF]
We report the detection of Kepler-47, a system consisting of two planets orbiting around an eclipsing pair of stars. The inner and outer planets have radii 3.0 and 4.6 times that of the Earth, respectively. The binary star consists of a Sun-like star and

Deep Orbital Search for Additional Planets in the HR 8799 System
The HR 8799 system hosts four massive planets orbiting 15 and 80 au. Studies of the system's orbital stability and its outer debris disk open the possibility of additional planets, both interior to and exterior to the known system.

Formation of TRAPPIST-1 and other compact systems [PDF]
TRAPPIST-1 is a nearby 0.08 M M-star, which was recently found to harbor a planetary system of at least seven Earth-mass planets, all within 0.1 au.

Migration scenarii in extrasolar systems
In this review talk, I present the theory of type I migration of small mass planets, and its latest developments that open the possibility of outward migration in the inner part of a protoplanetary disk.
