WASP-107b's density is even lower: a case study for the physics of planetary gas envelope accretion and orbital migration
Caroline Piaulet, Björn Benneke, Ryan A. Rubenzahl +21
With a mass in the Neptune regime and a radius of Jupiter, WASP-107b presents a challenge to planet formation theories. Meanwhile, the planet's low surface gravity and the star's b…
Can Large-Scale Migration Explain the Giant Planet Occurrence Rate?
Tim Hallatt, Eve J Lee
The giant planet occurrence rate rises with orbital period out to at least 300 days. Large-scale planetary migration through the disk has long been suspected to be the physic…
A Featureless Infrared Transmission Spectrum for the Super-Puff Planet Kepler-79d
Yayaati Chachan, Daniel Jontof-Hutter, Heather A. Knutson +12
Extremely low density planets ('super-puffs') are a small but intriguing subset of the transiting planet population. With masses in the super-Earth range ( M) and…
Primordial Radius Gap and Potentially Broad Core Mass Distributions of Super-Earths and Sub-Neptunes
Eve J. Lee, Nicholas J. Connors
The observed radii distribution of {\it Kepler} exoplanets reveals two distinct populations: those that are more likely to be terrestrials () and those that ar…
Most Stars (and Planets?) Are Born in Intense Radiation Fields
Eve J. Lee, Philip F. Hopkins
Protostars and young stars are strongly spatially "clustered" or "correlated" within their natal giant molecular clouds (GMCs). We demonstrate that such clustering leads to the con…
Forming Diverse Super-Earth Systems in Situ
Mariah G. MacDonald, Rebekah I. Dawson, Sarah J. Morrison +2
Super-Earths and mini-Neptunes exhibit great diversity in their compositional and orbital properties. Their bulk densities span a large range, from those dense enough to be purely…
The First Habitable Zone Earth-Sized Planet From TESS II: Confirms TOI-700 d
Joseph E. Rodriguez, Andrew Vanderburg, Sebastian Zieba +43
We present 4.5m observations of the transit of TOI-700 d, a habitable zone Earth-sized planet in a multiplanet system transiting a nearby M-dwarf star (TIC 150428135,…
The First Habitable Zone Earth-sized Planet from TESS. I: Validation of the TOI-700 System
Emily A. Gilbert, Thomas Barclay, Joshua E. Schlieder +92
We present the discovery and validation of a three-planet system orbiting the nearby (31.1 pc) M2 dwarf star TOI-700 (TIC 150428135). TOI-700 lies in the TESS continuous viewing zo…
