Statistical properties of exoplanets
Since the detection a decade ago of the planetary companion of 51 Peg, more than 200
extrasolar planets have been unveiled, mostly by radial-velocity measurements but also in a …

M stars as targets for terrestrial exoplanet searches and biosignature detection
The changing view of planets orbiting low mass stars, M stars, as potentially hospitable
worlds for life and its remote detection was motivated by several factors, including the …

Compositional imprints in density–distance–time: a rocky composition for close-in low-mass exoplanets from the location of the valley of evaporation
S Jin, C Mordasini - The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We use an end-to-end model of planet formation, thermodynamic evolution, and
atmospheric escape to investigate how the statistical imprints of evaporation depend on the …

The mass–radius relation for 65 exoplanets smaller than 4 Earth radii
We study the masses and radii of 65 exoplanets smaller than 4 R⊕ with orbital periods
shorter than 100 days. We calculate the weighted mean densities of planets in bins of 0.5 …

On detecting terrestrial planets with timing of giant planet transits
The transits of a distant star by a planet on a Keplerian orbit occur at time intervals exactly
equal to the orbital period. If a second planet orbits the same star, the orbits are not …
