On the Formation of Planets in the Milky Way's Thick Disk

T Hallatt, EJ Lee - The Astrophysical Journal, 2025 - iopscience.iop.org
Exoplanet demographic surveys have revealed that close-in (≲ 1 au) small planets orbiting
stars in the Milky Way's thick disk are∼ 50% less abundant than those orbiting stars in the …

Signs of magnetic star-planet interactions in HD 118203-TESS detects stellar variability that matches the orbital period of a close-in eccentric Jupiter-sized companion

A Castro-González, J Lillo-Box, ACM Correia… - Astronomy & …, 2024 - aanda.org
