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…
