Journal ArticleDOI
Constraining the false positive rate for Kepler planet candidates with multicolour photometry from the GTC
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used multicolour transit photometry of four small, short-period (P ≲ 6 d) planet candidates recently identified by the Kepler space mission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secular orbital dynamics of hierarchical two-planet systems
Dimitri Veras,Eric B. Ford +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine published radial velocity data with Markov Chain Monte Carlo analyses to obtain an ensemble of masses, semimajor axes, eccentricities, and orbital angles for each of the five dynamically active multi-planet systems: HD 11964, HD 38529, HD 108874, HD 168443, and HD 190360.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions Between Moderate- and Long-Period Giant Planets: Scattering Experiments for Systems in Isolation and with Stellar Flybys
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the outcomes of planet-planet scattering for a distribution of multi-planet systems that all have one of the planets on an initial orbit of 100 AU.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superabundance of Exoplanet Sub-Neptunes Explained by Fugacity Crisis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that the base-of-atmosphere pressure is high enough for the atmosphere to readily dissolve into magma, and this sequestration acts as a strong brake on further growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for He I 10830 \AA~ absorption during the transit of a warm Neptune around the M-dwarf GJ 3470 with the Habitable-zone Planet Finder.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported evidence for the He I 10830 \AA~in absorption (equivalent width $0.012 \pm 0.002$ \AA) in the exosphere of a warm Neptune orbiting the M-dwarf GJ 3470, during three transits using the HPF near infrared spectrograph.
