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

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.
