The young planetary system K2-25: constraints on companions and starspots

Isabel J. Kain, Elisabeth R. Newton, Jason A. Dittmann +5

The abundance of planets with orbital periods of a few to tens of days suggests that exoplanets experience complex dynamical histories. Planets in young stellar clusters or associa…
