Origins of hot Jupiters
RI Dawson, JA Johnson - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Hot Jupiters were the first exoplanets to be discovered around main sequence stars and

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

Seven temperate terrestrial planets around the nearby ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1
One aim of modern astronomy is to detect temperate, Earth-like exoplanets that are well
suited for atmospheric characterization. Recently, three Earth-sized planets were detected …
