How formation time-scales affect the period dependence of the transition between rocky super-Earths and gaseous sub-Neptunes and implications for
Eric D. Lopez, Ken Rice
One of the most significant advances by NASA's Mission was the discovery of an abundant new population of highly irradiated planets with sizes between the Earth…
Kepler-21b: A rocky planet around a V = 8.25 magnitude star
Mercedes Lopez-Morales, Raphaelle D. Haywood, Jeffrey L. Coughlin +36
HD 179070, aka Kepler-21, is a V = 8.25 F6IV star and the brightest exoplanet host discovered by Kepler. An early detailed analysis by Howell et al. (2012) of the first thirteen mo…
The Orbit and Mass of the Third Planet in the Kepler-56 System
Oderah Justin Otor, Benjamin T. Montet, John Asher Johnson +20
While the vast majority of multiple-planet systems have their orbital angular momentum axes aligned with the spin axis of their host star, Kepler-56 is an exception: its two transi…
Grand challenges in protoplanetary disc modelling
Thomas J. Haworth, John D. Ilee, Duncan H. Forgan +18
The Protoplanetary Discussions conference --- held in Edinburgh, UK, from 7th --11th March 2016 --- included several open sessions led by participants. This paper reports on the di…
A 1.9 Earth radius rocky planet and the discovery of a non-transiting planet in the Kepler-20 system
Lars A. Buchhave, Courtney D. Dressing, Xavier Dumusque +35
Kepler-20 is a solar-type star (V = 12.5) hosting a compact system of five transiting planets, all packed within the orbital distance of Mercury in our own Solar System. A transiti…
Directly observing continuum emission from self-gravitating spiral waves
Cassandra Hall, Duncan Forgan, Ken Rice +3
We use a simple, self-consistent, self-gravitating semi-analytic disc model to conduct an examination of the parameter space in which self-gravitating discs may exist. We then use…
