Emerging trends in a period–radius distribution of close-in planets
C Beauge, D Nesvorný - The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We analyze the distribution of extrasolar planets (both confirmed and Kepler candidates)
according to their orbital periods P and planetary radii R. Among confirmed planets, we find …

The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS)-IV. Planetary systems around low-mass stars
Context. Previous theoretical works on planet formation around low-mass stars have often
been limited to large planets and individual systems. As current surveys routinely detect …

The imprint of exoplanet formation history on observable present-day spectra of hot Jupiters
C Mordasini, R van Boekel, P Mollière… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
The composition of a planet's atmosphere is determined by its formation, evolution, and
present-day insolation. A planet's spectrum therefore may hold clues on its origins. We …

The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS)-I. Bern global model of planet formation and evolution, model tests, and emerging planetary systems
Context. The explosion of observational data on exoplanets gives many constraints on
theoretical models of planet formation and evolution. Observational data probe very large …

Dearth of short-period Neptunian exoplanets: A desert in period-mass and period-radius planes
A few studies have reported a significant dearth of exoplanets with Neptune mass and
radius with orbital periods below 2–4 d. This cannot be explained by observational biases …

RV-detected planets around M dwarfs: Challenges for core accretion models
Context. Planet formation is sensitive to the conditions in protoplanetary disks, for which
scaling laws as a function of stellar mass are known. Aims. We aim to test whether the …

A remnant planetary core in the hot-Neptune desert
The interiors of giant planets remain poorly understood. Even for the planets in the Solar
System, difficulties in observation lead to large uncertainties in the properties of planetary …

Probabilistic mass–radius relationship for sub-Neptune-sized planets
ABSTRACT The Kepler Mission has discovered thousands of planets with radii< 4${R} _

Estimation of the XUV radiation onto close planets and their evaporation
Context. The current distribution of planet mass vs. incident stellar X-ray flux supports the
idea that photoevaporation of the atmosphere may take place in close-in planets. Integrated …

The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS)-II. Planetary population of solar-like stars and overview of statistical results
Context. Planetary formation and evolution is a combination of multiple interlinked
processes. Constraining the mechanisms observationally requires statistical comparison to …
