Microlensing surveys for exoplanets

BS Gaudi - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2012 - annualreviews.org
Unlike most other planet-detection techniques, gravitational microlensing does not rely on
detection of photons from either the host or the planet. Rather, planets are discovered by …

Density, not radius, separates rocky and water-rich small planets orbiting M dwarf stars

R Luque, E Pallé - Science, 2022 - science.org
Exoplanets smaller than Neptune are common around red dwarf stars (M dwarfs), with those
that transit their host star constituting the bulk of known temperate worlds amenable for …

The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS)-IV. Planetary systems around low-mass stars

R Burn, M Schlecker, C Mordasini… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
Context. Previous theoretical works on planet formation around low-mass stars have often
been limited to large planets and individual systems. As current surveys routinely detect …

Water: from clouds to planets

EF Van Dishoeck, EA Bergin, DC Lis… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2014 - arxiv.org
Results from recent space missions, in particular Spitzer and Herschel, have lead to
significant progress in our understanding of the formation and transport of water from clouds …

A steeper than linear disk mass–stellar mass scaling relation

I Pascucci, L Testi, GJ Herczeg, F Long… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
The disk mass is among the most important input parameter for every planet formation
model to determine the number and masses of the planets that can form. We present an …

Planet formation theory in the era of ALMA and Kepler: from pebbles to exoplanets

J Drazkowska, B Bitsch, M Lambrechts… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Our understanding of planet formation has been rapidly evolving in recent years. The
classical planet formation theory, developed when the only known planetary system was our …

The mass dependence between protoplanetary disks and their stellar hosts

SM Andrews, KA Rosenfeld, AL Kraus… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a substantial extension of the millimeter (mm) wave continuum photometry
catalog for circumstellar dust disks in the Taurus star-forming region, based on a new" …

The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS)-I. Bern global model of planet formation and evolution, model tests, and emerging planetary systems

A Emsenhuber, C Mordasini, R Burn, Y Alibert… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
Context. The explosion of observational data on exoplanets gives many constraints on
theoretical models of planet formation and evolution. Observational data probe very large …

Planet occurrence within 0.25 AU of solar-type stars from Kepler

AW Howard, GW Marcy, ST Bryson… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We report the distribution of planets as a function of planet radius, orbital period, and stellar
effective temperature for orbital periods less than 50 days around solar-type (GK) stars …

Framework for the architecture of exoplanetary systems-I. Four classes of planetary system architecture

L Mishra, Y Alibert, S Udry, C Mordasini - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 - aanda.org
We present a novel, model-independent framework for studying the architecture of an
exoplanetary system at the system level. This framework allows us to characterise, quantify …
