The California-Kepler survey. III. A gap in the radius distribution of small planets

BJ Fulton, EA Petigura, AW Howard… - The Astronomical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The size of a planet is an observable property directly connected to the physics of its
formation and evolution. We used precise radius measurements from the California-Kepler …

The Gemini Planet Imager Exoplanet Survey: giant planet and brown dwarf demographics from 10 to 100 au

EL Nielsen, RJ De Rosa, B Macintosh… - The Astronomical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a statistical analysis of the first 300 stars observed by the Gemini Planet Imager

The California-Kepler survey. VII. Precise planet radii leveraging Gaia DR2 reveal the stellar mass dependence of the planet radius gap

BJ Fulton, EA Petigura - The Astronomical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
The distribution of planet sizes encodes details of planet formation and evolution. We
present the most precise planet size distribution to date based on Gaia parallaxes, Kepler …

The California-Kepler Survey. X. The radius gap as a function of stellar mass, metallicity, and age

EA Petigura, JG Rogers, H Isaacson… - The Astronomical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract In 2017, the California-Kepler Survey (CKS) published its first data release (DR1) of
high-resolution optical spectra of 1305 planet hosts. Refined CKS planet radii revealed that …

Evidence for the volatile-rich composition of a 1.5-Earth-radius planet

C Piaulet, B Benneke, JM Almenara, D Dragomir… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
The population of planets smaller than approximately 1.7 Earth radii (R⊕) is widely
interpreted as consisting of rocky worlds, generally referred to as super-Earths. This picture …

The California-Kepler survey. V. Peas in a pod: Planets in a Kepler multi-planet system are similar in size and regularly spaced

LM Weiss, GW Marcy, EA Petigura… - The Astronomical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We have established precise planet radii, semimajor axes, incident stellar fluxes, and stellar
masses for 909 planets in 355 multi-planet systems discovered by Kepler. In this sample, we …

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
