The orbital eccentricity distribution of planets orbiting M dwarfs
S Sagear, S Ballard - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
We investigate the underlying distribution of orbital eccentricities for planets around early-to-

More Likely Than You Think: Inclination-driving Secular Resonances Are Common in Known Exoplanet Systems
Multiplanet systems face significant challenges to detection. For example, farther-orbiting
planets have a reduced signal-to-noise ratio in radial velocity detection methods, and small …
