Observations of protoplanetary disk structures

SM Andrews - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2020 - annualreviews.org
The disks that orbit young stars are the essential conduits and reservoirs of material for star
and planet formation. Their structures, meaning the spatial variations of the disk physical …

Origins of hot Jupiters

RI Dawson, JA Johnson - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Hot Jupiters were the first exoplanets to be discovered around main sequence stars and

Accurate empirical radii and masses of planets and their host stars with Gaia parallaxes

KG Stassun, KA Collins, BS Gaudi - The Astronomical Journal, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We present empirical measurements of the radii of 116 stars that host transiting planets.
These radii are determined using only direct observables—the bolometric flux at Earth, the …

The occurrence and architecture of exoplanetary systems

JN Winn, DC Fabrycky - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2015 - annualreviews.org
