Unexpected gap creating two peaks in the periods of planets of metal-rich sunlike single stars
Stuart F. Taylor
The pileup of planets at periods of roughly one year and beyond is actually a bimodal peak with a wide, sharp gap splitting the peak of the pileup in a major population of large pl…
Exoplanet Exploration Program Analysis Group (ExoPAG) Report to Paul Hertz Regarding Large Mission Concepts to Study for the 2020 Decadal Survey
B. Scott Gaudi, Eric Agol, Daniel Apai +36
This is a joint summary of the reports from the three Astrophysics Program Analysis Groups (PAGs) in response to the "Planning for the 2020 Decadal Survey" charge given by the Astr…
Hot Big Planets Kepler Survey: Measuring the Repopulation Rate of the Shortest-Period Planets
Stuart F. Taylor
By surveying new fields for the shortest-period "big" planets, the Kepler spacecraft could provide the statistics to more clearly measure the occurrence distributions of giant and…
Iron abundance correlations and an occurrence distribution discrepancy from ongoing planet migration
Stuart F. Taylor
Whether the higher occurrence of giant planets being hosted by metal-rich versus metal-poor stars results from formation or from "pollution" has been a question of intense debate.…
Small flow rate can supply inwardly migrating shortest-period planets
Stuart F. Taylor
The number of exoplanets found with periods as short as one day and less was surprising given how fast these planets had been expected to migrate into the star due to the tides rai…
Flow of Planets Raises Short Period Fall Off
Stuart F. Taylor
After finding more planets than expected at the shortest period, there has been an effort to explain their numbers by weak tidal friction. However, we find that the strength of tid…
Observing the Luminosity Increase and Roche Lobe Overflow of Planet Destruction
Stuart F. Taylor
The destruction of planets by migration into the star will release significant amounts of energy and material, which will present opportunities to observational study planets in ne…
