Super-earths and mini-neptunes follow different orbital period-eccentricity relations
Ke-Ting Shin, Dong-Sheng An, Ji-Wei Xie +2
Many exoplanets have been observed with radius sizes between that of Earth and that of Neptune and are thus classified into two groups: super-earths (SEs) and mini-neptunes (MNs).…
Fates of the sub-stellar objects (FOSSO) II. Evidence for Suppression of Metal Pollution in White Dwarfs by Close Substellar Companions
Zhangliang Chen, Xin-Yue Zhang, Di-Chang Chen +4
Approximately 25--50\% of white dwarfs (WDs) exhibit metal absorption lines in their photospheres, interpreted as evidence of ongoing/recent accretion of planetary debris from remn…
Chemical Abundances Shape History (CASH). I. A Link between Giant Planets Orbital Periods and Host Stellar C/O Ratios
Ruisheng Zhang, Ji-Wei Xie, Mengrui Pan +5
The chemical abundance of host stars plays a pivotal role in shaping the formation history of planetary systems, yet the influence of elements beyond iron remains poorly understood…
How a Close-in Planet Protects its White Dwarf Host from Pollution
Xin-Yue Zhang, Ji-Wei Xie, Di-Chang Chen +1
Approximately 25-50% of white dwarfs (WDs) exhibit metal absorption lines in their photospheres, which are attributed to accretion from their remnant planetary systems. Although wh…
Planet Across Space and Time (PAST). VII. The origin and tidal evolution of hot Jupiters constrained by a broken age-frequency relation
Di-Chang Chen, Ji-Wei Xie, Ji-Lin Zhou +4
The discovery of hot Jupiters has challenged the classical planet formation theory. Although various formation mechanisms have been proposed, the dominant channel and relative cont…
Planets Across Space and Time (PAST). VIII : Kinematic Characterization and Identification of Radial Velocity Variables for the LAMOST-Gaia-TESS Stars
Di Wu, Di-Chang Chen, Ji-Wei Xie +6
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered over 6700 nearby exoplanets candidates using the transit method through its all-sky survey. Characterizing the kinem…
