Atmospheres of rocky exoplanets
R Wordsworth, L Kreidberg - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2022 - annualreviews.org
Rocky planets are common around other stars, but their atmospheric properties remain
largely unconstrained. Thanks to a wealth of recent planet discoveries and upcoming …

Exoplanet statistics and theoretical implications
In the past few years, significant advances have been made in understanding the
distributions of exoplanet populations and the architecture of planetary systems. We review …

The California-Kepler Survey. X. The radius gap as a function of stellar mass, metallicity, and age
Abstract In 2017, the California-Kepler Survey (CKS) published its first data release (DR1) of
high-resolution optical spectra of 1305 planet hosts. Refined CKS planet radii revealed that …

Masses and compositions of three small planets orbiting the nearby M dwarf L231-32 (TOI-270) and the M dwarf radius valley
We report on precise Doppler measurements of L231-32 (TOI-270), a nearby M dwarf (d= 22
pc, M⋆= 0.39 M⊙, R⋆= 0.38 R⊙), which hosts three transiting planets that were recently …

Photoevaporation versus core-powered mass-loss: model comparison with the 3D radius gap
The extreme ultraviolet (EUV)/X-ray photoevaporation and core-powered mass-loss models
are both capable of reproducing the bimodality in the sizes of small, close-in exoplanets …

The Upper Edge of the Neptune Desert Is Stable Against Photoevaporation
S Vissapragada, HA Knutson… - The Astronomical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Transit surveys indicate that there is a deficit of Neptune-sized planets on close-in orbits. If
this" Neptune desert" is entirely cleared out by atmospheric mass loss, then planets at its …
