Understanding the mass–radius relation for sub-Neptunes: radius as a proxy for composition

ED Lopez, JJ Fortney - The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
… For this work, we have used the thermal evolution presented in Lopez et al. (2012), where
… In Lopez & Fortney (2013) we performed a similar analysis, examining planets' vulnerability …

The role of core mass in controlling evaporation: The Kepler radius distribution and the Kepler-36 density dichotomy

ED Lopez, JJ Fortney - The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
We use models of coupled thermal evolution and photo-evaporative mass loss to understand
the formation and evolution of the Kepler-36 system. We show that the large contrast in …

How thermal evolution and mass-loss sculpt populations of super-Earths and sub-Neptunes: application to the Kepler-11 system and beyond

ED Lopez, JJ Fortney, N Miller - The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We use models of thermal evolution and extreme ultraviolet (XUV) driven mass loss to explore
the composition and history of low-mass, low-density transiting planets. We investigate …

Kepler-36: A pair of planets with neighboring orbits and dissimilar densities

…, SD Kawaler, H Kjeldsen, JJ Lissauer, ED Lopez… - Science, 2012 - science.org
In the solar system, the planets’ compositions vary with orbital distance, with rocky planets
in close orbits and lower-density gas giants in wider orbits. The detection of close-in giant …
