Atmospheric escape and the evolution of close-in exoplanets
JE Owen - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2019 - annualreviews.org
Exoplanets with substantial hydrogen/helium atmospheres have been discovered in
abundance, many residing extremely close to their parent stars. The extreme irradiation …

The origin of life as a planetary phenomenon
We advocate an integrative approach between laboratory experiments in prebiotic chemistry
and geologic, geochemical, and astrophysical observations to help assemble a robust …

Refining the transit-timing and photometric analysis of TRAPPIST-1: masses, radii, densities, dynamics, and ephemerides
We have collected transit times for the TRAPPIST-1 system with the Spitzer Space
Telescope over four years. We add to these ground-based, HST, and K2 transit-time …

Conclusive evidence for a population of water worlds around M dwarfs remains elusive
JG Rogers, HE Schlichting… - The Astrophysical Journal …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The population of small, close-in exoplanets is bifurcated into super-Earths and sub-
Neptunes. We calculate physically motivated mass–radius relations for sub-Neptunes, with …

The evaporation valley in the Kepler planets
A new piece of evidence supporting the photoevaporation-driven evolution model for low-
mass, close-in exoplanets was recently presented by the California–Kepler Survey. The …

Identifying exoplanets with deep learning: A five-planet resonant chain around kepler-80 and an eighth planet around kepler-90
CJ Shallue, A Vanderburg - The Astronomical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract NASA's Kepler Space Telescope was designed to determine the frequency of Earth-
sized planets orbiting Sun-like stars, but these planets are on the very edge of the mission's …

Probabilistic forecasting of the masses and radii of other worlds
Mass and radius are two of the most fundamental properties of an astronomical object.
Increasingly, new planet discoveries are being announced with a measurement of one of …

The occurrence of potentially habitable planets orbiting M dwarfs estimated from the full Kepler dataset and an empirical measurement of the detection sensitivity
CD Dressing, D Charbonneau - The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an improved estimate of the occurrence rate of small planets orbiting small stars
by searching the full four-year Kepler data set for transiting planets using our own planet …

Accurate empirical radii and masses of planets and their host stars with Gaia parallaxes
KG Stassun, KA Collins, BS Gaudi - The Astronomical Journal, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We present empirical measurements of the radii of 116 stars that host transiting planets.
These radii are determined using only direct observables—the bolometric flux at Earth, the …
