JWST Transmission Spectroscopy of TOI-3235 b: Challenges in Constraining Giant Planet Atmospheres Around M Dwarfs Amid Stellar Contamination
Zoe Ko, Néstor Espinoza, Andrés Jordán +7
Giant planets orbiting low-mass M dwarfs challenge current planet formation theories, which predict that such planets are unlikely to form. Characterizing their atmospheres can pro…
The Role of Formation Location in Shaping Sulfur-, Nitrogen-, and Carbon-Bearing Species in Super-Earth and Sub-Neptune Atmospheres
Aaron Werlen, Remo Burn, Caroline Dorn +2
Atmospheric compositions of sub-Neptunes and super-Earths are often interpreted as tracers of formation location relative to volatile ice lines. However, prolonged magma oceans can…
Exoplanet formation inference using conditional invertible neural networks
Remo Burn, Victor F. Ksoll, Hubert Klahr +1
The interpretation of the origin of observed exoplanets is usually done only qualitatively due to uncertainties of key parameters in planet formation models. To allow a quantitativ…
The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS). VII. Statistical comparison with the HARPS/Coralie survey
Alexandre Emsenhuber, Christoph Mordasini, Michel Mayor +8
We seek to quantify the fidelity with which modern population syntheses reproduce observations in view of their use as predictive tools. We compared synthetic populations from the…
Sub-Neptunes Are Drier Than They Seem: Rethinking the Origins of Water-Rich Worlds
Aaron Werlen, Caroline Dorn, Remo Burn +3
Recent claims of biosignature gases in sub-Neptune atmospheres have renewed interest in water-rich sub-Neptunes with surface oceans, often referred to as Hycean planets. These plan…
The New Generation Planetary Population Synthesis (NGPPS) VIII. Impact of host star metallicity on planet occurrence rates, orbital periods, eccentricities, and radius valley morphology
Di-Chang Chen, Christoph Mordasini, Alexandre Emsenhuber +3
The dust-to-gas ratio in the protoplanetary disk, which is likely imprinted into the host star metallicity, is a property that plays a crucial role during planet formation. We aim…
Differentiating Formation Models with New Dynamical Masses for the PDS 70 Protoplanets
David Trevascus, Sarah Blunt, Valentin Christiaens +22
Hot- and cold-start planet formation models predict differing luminosities for the young, bright planets that direct imaging surveys are most sensitive to. However, precise mass es…
Estimating the Mass Escaping Rates of Radius-valley-spanning Planets in the TOI-431 System via X-Ray and Ultraviolet Evaporation
Xiaoming Jiang, Jonathan H. Jiang, Remo Burn +1
TOI-431 system has 3 close-in exoplanets, which gives an ideal lab to study gas escape. In this study, we measure the XUV luminosity for TOI-431 with XMM-Newton/EPIC-pn and OM data…
The NCORES Program: Precise planetary masses, null results, and insight into the planet mass distribution near the radius gap
David J. Armstrong, Ares Osborn, Remo Burn +39
NCORES was a large observing program on the ESO HARPS spectrograph, dedicated to measuring the masses of Neptune-like and smaller transiting planets discovered by the TESS satellit…
Water-rich sub-Neptunes and rocky super Earths around different Stars: Radii shaped by Volatile Partitioning, Formation, and Evolution
Remo Burn, Komal Bali, Caroline Dorn +2
The nature of sub-Neptunes remains unknown due to degeneracies in interior structure solutions. However, a statistical set of small planets with measured masses and radii can be us…
Resonant sub-Neptunes are puffier
Adrien Leleu, Jean-Baptiste Delisle, Remo Burn +12
A systematic, population-level discrepancy exists between the densities of exoplanets whose masses have been measured with transit timing variations (TTVs) versus those measured wi…
Planet formation -- observational constraints, physical processes, and compositional patterns
Christoph Mordasini, Remo Burn
The goal of planet formation as a field of study is not only to provide the understanding of how planets come into existence. It is also an interdisciplinary bridge which links ast…
Three Warm Jupiters around Solar-analog stars detected with TESS
Jan Eberhardt, Melissa J. Hobson, Thomas Henning +32
We report the discovery and characterization of three giant exoplanets orbiting solar-analog stars, detected by the \tess space mission and confirmed through ground-based photometr…
A radius valley between migrated steam worlds and evaporated rocky cores
Remo Burn, Christoph Mordasini, Lokesh Mishra +4
The radius valley (or gap) in the observed distribution of exoplanet radii, which separates smaller super-Earths from larger sub-Neptunes, is a key feature that theoretical models…
Planetary system architectures with low-mass inner planets: Direct imaging exploration of mature systems beyond 1 au
Celia Desgrange, Julien Milli, Gael Chauvin +20
The discovery of planets orbiting at less than 1 au from their host star and less massive than Saturn in various exoplanetary systems revolutionized our theories of planetary forma…
Planetary Population Synthesis and the Emergence of Four Classes of Planetary System Architectures
Alexandre Emsenhuber, Christoph Mordasini, Remo Burn
Planetary population synthesis is a tool to understand the physics of planetary system formation. It builds on a model that includes a multitude of physical processes. The outcome…
EDEN Survey: Small Transiting Planet Detection Limits and Constraints on the Occurrence Rates for Late M Dwarfs within 15 pc
Jeremy Dietrich, Dániel Apai, Martin Schlecker +29
Earth-sized exoplanets that transit nearby, late spectral type red dwarfs will be prime targets for atmospheric characterization in the coming decade. Such systems, however, are di…
