Metallicity-Dependent Signatures in the Kepler Planets
James E. Owen, Ruth Murray-Clay
Using data from the California-Kepler-Survey (CKS) we study trends in planetary properties with host star metallicity for close-in planets. By incorporating knowledge of the proper…
Atmospheric Escape and the Evolution of Close-in Exoplanets
James E. Owen
Exoplanets with substantial Hydrogen/Helium atmospheres have been discovered in abundance, many residing extremely close to their parent stars. The extreme irradiation levels these…
Photoevaporation and High-Eccentricity Migration Created the Sub-Jovian Desert
James E. Owen, Dong Lai
The mass-period or radius-period distribution of close-in exoplanets shows a paucity of intermediate mass/size (sub-Jovian) planets with periods ~< 3 days. We show that this sub-Jo…
Atmospheric reconnaissance of the habitable-zone Earth-sized planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1
J. de Wit, H. R. Wakeford, N. Lewis +14
Seven temperate Earth-sized exoplanets readily amenable for atmospheric studies transit the nearby ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 (refs 1,2). Their atmospheric regime is unknown a…
