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 …

Gaps in protoplanetary disks have long been hailed as signposts of planet formation.
However, a direct link between exoplanets and disks remains hard to identify. We present a …

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 …

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 …

We propose a planet formation scenario to explain the elevated occurrence rates of
transiting planets around M dwarfs compared to Sun-like stars discovered by Kepler. We use …

We present the occurrence rates for rocky planets in the habitable zones (HZs) of main-
sequence dwarf stars based on the Kepler DR25 planet candidate catalog and Gaia-based …

In the first paper of this series, we proposed a model-independent framework for
characterising the architecture of planetary systems at the system level. There are four …

Radial-velocity (RV) surveys have discovered hundreds of exoplanetary systems but suffer
from a fundamental degeneracy between planet mass M p and orbital inclination i. In this …

Understanding the occurrence of Earth-sized planets in the habitable zone of Sun-like stars
is essential to the search for Earth analogs. Yet a lack of reliable Kepler detections for such …

Early analyses of exoplanet statistics from the Kepler mission revealed that a model
population of multiplanet systems with low mutual inclinations (∼ 1–2) adequately describes …
