RV-detected planets around M dwarfs: Challenges for core accretion models

M Schlecker, R Burn, S Sabotta, A Seifert… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Context. Planet formation is sensitive to the conditions in protoplanetary disks, for which
scaling laws as a function of stellar mass are known. Aims. We aim to test whether the …

The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS)-II. Planetary population of solar-like stars and overview of statistical results

A Emsenhuber, C Mordasini, R Burn, Y Alibert… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org

processes. Constraining the mechanisms observationally requires statistical comparison to …

Systematic reanalysis of KMTNet microlensing events, paper I: Updates of the photometry pipeline and a new planet candidate

H Yang, JC Yee, KH Hwang, Q Qian… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
In this work, we update and develop algorithms for KMTNet tender-love care (TLC)
photometry in order to create a new, mostly automated, TLC pipeline. We then start a project …

Heavy metal rules. I. Exoplanet incidence and metallicity

V Adibekyan - Geosciences, 2019 - mdpi.com
The discovery of only a handful of exoplanets required establishing a correlation between
giant planet occurrence and metallicity of their host stars. More than 20 years have already …

The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS)-V. Predetermination of planet types in global core accretion models

M Schlecker, D Pham, R Burn, Y Alibert… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
Context. State-of-the-art planet formation models are now capable of accounting for the full
spectrum of known planet types. This comes at the cost of an increasing complexity of the …

Planetary population synthesis and the emergence of four classes of planetary system architectures

A Emsenhuber, C Mordasini, R Burn - The European Physical …, 2023 - epjplus.epj.org
Planetary population synthesis is a helpful tool to understand the physics of planetary
system formation. It builds on a global model, meaning that the model has to include a …

Giants are bullies: How their growth influences systems of inner sub-Neptunes and super-Earths

B Bitsch, A Izidoro - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 - aanda.org
Observational evidence points to an unexpected correlation between outer giant planets
and inner sub-Neptunes, which has remained unexplained by simulations so far. We utilize …
