The disks that orbit young stars are the essential conduits and reservoirs of material for star
and planet formation. Their structures, meaning the spatial variations of the disk physical …

Hot Jupiters were the first exoplanets to be discovered around main sequence stars and
astonished us with their close-in orbits. They are a prime example of how exoplanets have …

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 …

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 …

Various theoretical models treating the effect of stellar irradiation on planetary envelopes
predict the presence of a radius valley, ie a bimodal distribution of planet radii, with super …

Abstract We present Atacama Large Millimeter/Sub-Millimeter Array (ALMA) Band 6
observations of a complete sample of protoplanetary disks in the young (∼ 1–3 Myr) Lupus …

Probing the connection between a star's metallicity and the presence and properties of any
associated planets offers an observational link between conditions during the epoch of …

The basic geometry of the Solar System—the shapes, spacings, and orientations of the
planetary orbits—has long been a subject of fascination as well as inspiration for planet …

The detection and characterization of large populations of pebbles in protoplanetary disks
have motivated the study of pebble accretion as a driver of planetary growth. This review …

The Kepler mission, combined with ground-based radial velocity (RV) follow-up and
dynamical analyses of transit timing variations, has revolutionized the observational …
