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 …

Kepler-78 and the ultra-short-period planets
JN Winn, R Sanchis-Ojeda, S Rappaport - New Astronomy Reviews, 2018 - Elsevier
Compared to the Earth, the exoplanet Kepler-78b has a similar size (1.2 R⊕) and an orbital
period a thousand times shorter (8.5 h). It is currently the smallest planet for which the mass …

TOI-2076 and TOI-1807: two young, comoving planetary systems within 50 pc identified by TESS that are ideal candidates for further follow up
We report the discovery of two planetary systems around comoving stars: TOI-2076 (TIC
27491137) and TOI-1807 (TIC 180695581). TOI-2076 is a nearby (41.9 pc) multiplanetary …

Formation of ultra-short-period planets by obliquity-driven tidal runaway
SC Millholland, C Spalding - The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Small, rocky planets have been found orbiting in extreme proximity to their host stars,
sometimes down to only∼ 2 stellar radii. These ultra-short-period planets (USPs) likely did …
