Homogeneous Analysis of Hot Earths: Masses, Sizes, and Compositions

Fei Dai, Kento Masuda, Joshua N. Winn +1

Terrestrial planets have been found orbiting Sun-like stars with extremely short periods --- some as short as 4 hours. These "ultra-short-period planets" or "hot Earths" are so str…

An 11 Earth-Mass, Long-Period Sub-Neptune Orbiting a Sun-like Star

Andrew W. Mayo, Vinesh M. Rajpaul, Lars A. Buchhave +27

Although several thousands of exoplanets have now been detected and characterized, observational biases have led to a paucity of long-period, low-mass exoplanets with measured mass…

Growth Model Interpretation of Planet Size Distribution

Li Zeng, Stein B. Jacobsen, Dimitar D. Sasselov +13

The radii and orbital periods of 4000+ confirmed/candidate exoplanets have been precisely measured by the Kepler mission. The radii show a bimodal distribution, with two peaks corr…

A giant impact as the likely origin of different twins in the Kepler-107 exoplanet system

Aldo S. Bonomo, Li Zeng, Mario Damasso +49

Measures of exoplanet bulk densities indicate that small exoplanets with radius less than 3 Earth radii () range from low-density sub-Neptunes containing volatile element…

Masses and radii for the three super-Earths orbiting GJ 9827, and implications for the composition of small exoplanets

K. Rice, L. Malavolta, A. Mayo +34

Super-Earths belong to a class of planet not found in the Solar System, but which appear common in the Galaxy. Given that some super-Earths are rocky, while others retain substanti…
