Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite

George R. Ricker, +63 more
TL;DR: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) as discussed by the authors will search for planets transiting bright and nearby stars using four wide-field optical charge-coupled device cameras to monitor at least 200,000 main-sequence dwarf stars.
Journal ArticleDOI

The minimum-mass extrasolar nebula: in situ formation of close-in super-Earths

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed the minimum-mass extrasolar nebula (MMEN), the circumstellar disk of solar-composition solids and gas from which such planets formed, if they formed near their current locations and did not migrate.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Core Accretion Model Predicts Few Jovian-Mass Planets Orbiting Red Dwarfs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present theoretical calculations that show that the formation of Jupiter-mass planets orbiting M dwarfs is seriously inhibited at all radial locations (in sharp contrast to solar-type stars).
Journal ArticleDOI

Photoevaporation of Circumstellar Disks Due to External Far-Ultraviolet Radiation in Stellar Aggregates

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on systems in which photoevaporation is suppressed because rd < rg and show that significant mass loss still takes place as long as rd/rg 0.1-0.2.
