The habitability of planets orbiting M-dwarf stars

AL Shields, S Ballard, JA Johnson - Physics Reports, 2016 - Elsevier
The prospects for the habitability of M-dwarf planets have long been debated, due to key
differences between the unique stellar and planetary environments around these low-mass …

The Gemini Planet Imager Exoplanet Survey: giant planet and brown dwarf demographics from 10 to 100 au

EL Nielsen, RJ De Rosa, B Macintosh… - The Astronomical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org

A revised exoplanet yield from the transiting exoplanet survey satellite (TESS)

T Barclay, J Pepper, EV Quintana - The Astrophysical Journal …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has a goal of detecting small
planets orbiting stars bright enough for mass determination via ground-based radial velocity …

A steeper than linear disk mass–stellar mass scaling relation

I Pascucci, L Testi, GJ Herczeg, F Long… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
The disk mass is among the most important input parameter for every planet formation
model to determine the number and masses of the planets that can form. We present an …

Habitability and biosignatures of Hycean worlds

N Madhusudhan, AAA Piette… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate a new class of habitable planets composed of water-rich interiors with
