An Ultra-Short Period Super-Earth and a Sub-Neptune Orbiting the K dwarf TOI-4311
Yoshi Nike Emilia Eschen, Thomas G. Wilson, Andrew Collier Cameron +95
We report the discovery and characterisation of the multi-planetary system around TOI-4311, a K dwarf kinematically between the Galactic thick disk and Hercules stream. TOI-4311 ho…
Origin and characterization of super-Earths and sub-Neptunes
Léna Parc, Julia Venturini, François Bouchy +6
Super-Earths and sub-Neptunes represent the most common class of exoplanets discovered to date in our galaxy, yet they have no direct analogues in the Solar System. Since 2014, res…
An Adolescent and Near-Resonant Planetary System Near the End of Photoevaporation
Mu-Tian Wang, Fei Dai, Hui-Gen Liu +28
Young exoplanets provide vital insights into the early dynamical and atmospheric evolution of planetary systems. Many multi-planet systems younger than 100 Myr exhibit mean-motion…
Gas-depleted planet formation occurred in the four-planet system around the red dwarf LHS 1903
Thomas G. Wilson, Anna M. Simpson, Andrew Collier Cameron +173
Small exoplanet radii show two populations, referred to as super-Earths and sub-Neptunes, separated by a gap known as the radius valley. This may be produced by the removal of atmo…
An Ultra-Short Period Super-Earth and Sub-Neptune Spanning the Radius Valley Orbiting the Kinematic Thick Disk Star TOI-2345
Yoshi Nike Emilia Eschen, Thomas G. Wilson, Andrea Bonfanti +94
A crucial chemical link between stars and their orbiting exoplanets is thought to exist. If universal, this connection could affect the formation and evolution of all planets. Ther…
The PLATO Mission
Heike Rauer, Conny Aerts, Juan Cabrera +842
PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a large numb…
