The Effect of Adiabatic Index on Radius Evolution and the Mass Loss
Arick Collander, Eve J. Lee
Models that track the size evolution of exoplanets often assume a prescribed initial thermal state or a single adiabatic index to describe the planetary interior structure, the lat…

The Persistent Missing Mass Problem in Planet Formation
Eve J. Lee, William DeRocco, Sam Hadden +1
Recent ground-based microlensing surveys suggest that our Galaxy may abound with small free floating planets, potentially up to 21 such planets per star. We explore the impli…

Preparing for the Early eVolution Explorer: Detecting the Primordial, Transiting Exoplanet Population
George Zhou, James G. Rogers, Jennifer A. Burt +17
The close-in small planet population may be formed either with hydrogen/helium dominated envelopes or with water-rich interiors. Both scenarios reproduce the present day planet pop…
