A chemo-dynamical search for planet-candidate hosts of possible extragalactic origin
Sun Tiancheng, Chen Xunzhou, Xiang Maosheng +2
To date, all known exoplanetary systems have been identified around stars currently residing in the Milky Way, whereas planets formed in external galaxies remain largely unexplored…
Host--Non-host Differences in Stellar Chemistry, Activity, and Birth Radius: Hints of Distinct Formation Environments for Earth-like Planets and Sub-Neptunes
Xunzhou Chen, Tiancheng Sun, Yuxi +3
Host-star properties provide important clues to planet formation and evolution, yet it remains unclear whether the observed differences between planet-hosting stars and stars witho…
Insights into the Exoplanet Radius Valley from Host-Star Ages, Activity, Chemistry, and Birth Radius
Xunzhou Chen, Tiancheng Sun, Yuxi +3
The radius valley, a bimodal feature in the size distribution of close-in small exoplanets, is widely interpreted as a signature of atmospheric loss and therefore provides a key co…
Insights into Planet Formation from the Ages, Masses, and Elemental Abundances of Host Stars
Xunzhou Chen, Tiancheng Sun, Lifei Ye
How planetary systems form and evolve is a key question in astronomy. Revealing how host star properties, such as elemental abundances, age, and mass, differ from those of non-host…
Potential Impact of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy on the Formation of Young O-rich Stars
Tiancheng Sun, Shaolan Bi, Xunzhou Chen +11
The Milky Way underwent significant transformations in its early history, characterised by violent mergers and satellite galaxy accretion. However, recent observations reveal notab…
The temporal and spatial variations of lithium abundance in the Galactic disc
Tiancheng Sun, Shaolan Bi, Xunzhou Chen +7
This study investigates the temporal and spatial variations in lithium abundance within the Milky Way using a sample of 22,034 main-sequence turn-off (MSTO) stars and subgiants, ch…
