A transiting giant planet in orbit around a 0.2-solar-mass host star

Edward M. Bryant, Andrés Jordán, Joel D. Hartman +56

Planet formation models suggest that the formation of giant planets is significantly harder around low-mass stars, due to the scaling of protoplanetary disc masses with stellar mas…
