The California-Kepler Survey. III. A Gap in the Radius Distribution of Small Planets*

TL;DR: The size of a planet is an observable property directly connected to the physics of its formation and evolution as discussed by the authors, and the size of close-in (P < 100 days) small planets can be divided into two size regimes: R_p < 1.5 R⊕ or smaller with varying amounts of low-density gas that determine their total sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mass-radius relation for 65 exoplanets smaller than 4 earth radii

TL;DR: In this article, the masses and radii of 65 exoplanets smaller than 4 R ⊕ with orbital periods shorter than 100 days were studied and the average planet density rapidly decreases with increasing radius.
Journal ArticleDOI

Masses, Radii, and Orbits of Small Kepler Planets: The Transition From Gaseous to Rocky Planets

Geoffrey W. Marcy, +114 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the masses, sizes, and orbits of the planets orbiting 22 Kepler stars were reported, including 42 detected through transits and 7 revealed by precise Doppler measurements of the host stars.

Masses, Radii, and Orbits of Small Kepler Planets: The Transition from Gaseous to Rocky Planets

Geoffrey W. Marcy, +102 more
TL;DR: In this article, the masses, sizes, and orbits of the planets orbiting 22 Kepler stars were reported, including 49 candidates detected through transits and 7 revealed by precise Doppler measurements of the host stars.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Mass-Radius Relation for 65 Exoplanets Smaller than 4 Earth Radii

TL;DR: In this article, the masses and radii of 65 exoplanets smaller than 4 Earth radii with orbital periods shorter than 100 days were studied and a density maximum of 7.6 g/cc was identified.
