The advent of radial velocity (RV) and transit photometry method has resulted in the
detection of more than 5000 exoplanets since 1995. Of these detected planets, a significant …

OVERVIEW Nearly 30 years after the discovery of the first exoplanet around a main
sequence star, thousands of planets have now been confirmed. These discoveries have …

The two-planet transiting system LHS 1140 has been extensively observed since its
discovery in 2017, notably with Spitzer, HST, TESS, and ESPRESSO, placing strong …

From core to atmosphere, the oxidation states of elements in a planet shape its character.
Oxygen fugacity () is one parameter indicating these likely oxidation states. The ongoing …

As stellar compositions evolve over time in the Milky Way, so will the resulting planet
populations. In order to place planet formation in the context of Galactic chemical evolution …

The mantra “know thy star, know thy planet” has proven to be very important for many
aspects of exoplanet science. Here I review how stellar abundances inform our …

Theoretical physical-chemical models for the formation of planetary systems depend on data
quality for the Sun's composition, that of stars in the solar neighbourhood, and of the …

In Lammer et al.(2024), we defined Earth-like habitats (EHs) as rocky exoplanets within the
habitable zone of complex life (HZCL) on which Earth-like N2-O2-dominated atmospheres …

Context. The composition of rocky planets is strongly driven by the primordial materials in
the protoplanetary disk, which can be inferred from the abundances of the host star …

Nominally anhydrous minerals in rocky planet mantles can sequester multiple Earth-oceans'
worth of water. Mantle water storage capacities therefore provide an important constraint on …
