Statistical properties of exoplanets

S Udry, NC Santos - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2007 - annualreviews.org
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

J Scalo, L Kaltenegger, A Segura, M Fridlund, I Ribas… - Astrobiology, 2007 - liebertpub.com
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 …

The California Legacy Survey. I. A catalog of 178 planets from precision radial velocity monitoring of 719 nearby stars over three decades

LJ Rosenthal, BJ Fulton, LA Hirsch… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a high-precision radial velocity (RV) survey of 719 FGKM stars, which host 164
known exoplanets and 14 newly discovered or revised exoplanets and substellar …

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

LM Weiss, GW Marcy - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Mass-radius relationships for solid exoplanets

S Seager, M Kuchner, CA Hier-Majumder… - The Astrophysical …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We use new interior models of cold planets to investigate the mass-radius relationships of
solid exoplanets, considering planets made primarily of iron, silicates, water, and carbon …

On detecting terrestrial planets with timing of giant planet transits

E Agol, J Steffen, R Sari… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2005 - academic.oup.com
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 …

Probabilistic mass–radius relationship for sub-Neptune-sized planets

A Wolfgang, LA Rogers, EB Ford - The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
ABSTRACT The Kepler Mission has discovered thousands of planets with radii< 4${R} _
{\oplus} $, paving the way for the first statistical studies of the dynamics, formation, and …

Extrasolar planet population synthesis-I. Method, formation tracks, and mass-distance distribution

C Mordasini, Y Alibert, W Benz - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2009 - aanda.org
Context. With the high number of extrasolar planets discovered by now, it has become
