Tracing the compositional link between terrestrial super-Earths and their host stars provides clues to their dominant formation pathway. By constraining the stellar abundances of refractory elements, we can predict the […]

Planetary Architectures of Kepler Compact Multis with Binary Star Companions
Planets in binary-star systems exhibit demographic differences compared to planets in single-star systems.
Searching For Molecular Signatures In 14 Transiting Exoplanets With SPIRou
High-resolution spectroscopy provides unique constraints on exoplanet atmospheric composition and dynamics. The past decade of ground-based campaigns has accumulated extensive public archives, yet many observations remain unanalysed.
Ground-based Atmospheric Characterization of Super-Earth L 98-59 d at High Spectral Resolution
Atmospheric characterization of exoplanets using ground-based high-resolution transmission spectroscopy has traditionally focussed on large and close-in planets, such as hot Jupiters.
Elevated Eccentricities In The Radius Valley Hint At Water-Rich Mini-Neptunes
While recent planet-formation models broadly reproduce the observed population of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes, as well as the bimodal radius distribution (the “radius valley”), it remains unclear whether all these planets […]
TESS Planet Occurrence Rates Reveal the Disappearance of the Radius Valley Around Mid-to-Late M Dwarfs
We present the deepest systematic search for planets around mid-to-late M dwarfs to date. We have surveyed 8134 mid-to-late M dwarfs observed by TESS with a custom built pipeline and […]
Densities Of Small Planets Around The M dwarfs TOI-4336 A And TOI-4342 With ESPRESSO: Three Sub-Neptunes, One Super-Earth, And A Neptune-mass Candidate
We present the characterization of two planetary systems orbiting the M dwarfs TOI-4336 A (M3.5V) and TOI-4342 (M0V), each hosting two transiting planets previously validated with TESS and ground-based observations.
The Radius Cliff is a Waterfall: Explaining Sub-Neptune Exoplanets With Steam Worlds
The demographics of Kepler planets provide a key testbed for models of planet formation and evolution, particularly for explaining the radius valley separating super-Earths and sub-Neptunes.
TESS Planets In Known Radial Velocity Cold Jupiter Systems: Hot Super Earth Occurrence Is Enhanced By Cold Jupiters
The correlation between inner super-Earths (SEs) and outer cold Jupiters (CJs) provides an important constraint on the formation and dynamical evolution of planetary systems. Previous studies have suggested a positive […]
RedDots: Multiplanet System Around M Dwarf GJ 887 In The Solar Neighborhood
GJ 877 is a bright M dwarf in the solar neighborhood with two currently reported nontransiting exoplanets with periods of 9 d and 21 d, along with an additional unconfirmed […]
