We present robust planet occurrence rates for Kepler planet candidates around M stars for planet radii $R_p=0.5−4 R_\oplus$ and orbital periods P=0.5−256 days using the approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) technique. This work incorporates the …
The angular momentum deficit (AMD) of a planetary system is a measure of its orbital excitation and a predictor of long--term stability. We adopt the AMD-stability criteria to constrain the orbital architectures for exoplanetary systems. …
The Kepler mission observed thousands of transiting exoplanet candidates around hundreds of thousands of FGK dwarf stars. [He, Ford, & Ragozzine (2019)](arXiv:1907.07773) applied forward modelling to infer the distribution of intrinsic architectures …
We present robust planet occurrence rates for Kepler planet candidates around M stars for planet radii Rp=0.5−4 R⊕ and orbital periods P=0.5−256 days using the approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) technique. This work incorporates the final …
