A young progenitor for the most common planetary systems in the Galaxy

John H. Livingston, Erik A. Petigura, Trevor J. David +39

The Galaxy's most common known planetary systems have several Earth-to-Neptune-size planets in compact orbits. At small orbital separations, larger planets are less common than the…

A Stellar Magnesium to Silicon ratio in the atmosphere of an exoplanet

Jorge A. Sanchez, Peter C. B. Smith, Krishna Kanumalla +17

The elemental compositions of exoplanets encode information about their formation environments and internal structures. While volatile ratios such as carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) are use…
