#DENSITY OF EXOPLANETS DISCOVERED AT RA 290 ARCHIVE#

We use our updated catalogue to describe the properties of two distinct populations: rocky and volatile-rich population.

We consider exoplanets with masses below 120 M ⊕ in order to focus on the transition between small-size terrestrial planets and the population of giant gaseous planets. In this study, we go through the entire NASA Exoplanet catalogue, in order to create a “filtered” sample of exoplanets with robust and reliable mass and radius measurements. In addition, one has to account for the fact that some of the listed mass and/or radius determinations are not reliable, which can affect the inferred conclusions (see Sect. While such studies are crucial for a more detailed characterisation of exoplanets, it should be noted that the number of discovered exoplanets increases rapidly and the estimates for the masses and radii are continuously being updated. (2016) inferred a semi-empirical M-R relation depending on the core mass fraction, followed by a detailed forecasting model using a probabilistic M-R relation using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) ( Chen & Kipping 2017). On the other, the NASA Exoplanet Database has a “removed targets” list, providing a more rigorous selection process, and is the most updated catalogue. On the other hand, the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia has the largest coverage of exoplanets, probably due to its less restrictive selection criteria. (2018), despite the overall good agreement between these catalogues, there are also some differences.

2017) or NASA Exoplanet Data Archive 2 ( Wolfgang et al. These are typically empirical relations based on exoplanet data found in the main exoplanet catalogues: Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia 1 ( Weiss et al. Parametric models, power laws in particular, have been proposed to fit the M-R relation. 2018) and to the investigation of the M-R relation of exoplanets of different populations. Various studies have been dedicated to the investigation of the internal structures of exoplanets (e.g. providing constraints on the formation models. These demographics can then be linked to the physical and chemical processes driving planet formation and evolution, such as the planetary mass function, primordial atmosphere mass, migration, atmospheric loss, inflation mechanism, etc. In addition, the M-R relation is used to explore the demographic of exoplanets in a statistical sense.

Knowledge of both the planetary mass and radius allows us to estimate the planetary bulk density and infer the possible compositions and internal structures. As a result, in order to characterise the exoplanets researchers often rely on a theoretical mass-radius (hereafter M-R) relation. For many of the Kepler exoplanets, radial velocity follow-up is restricted to a small fraction corresponding to the brightest host stars. The Kepler mission has clearly impacted the field with the detection of more than 2300 exoplanets. To date, more than 4000 exoplanets have been discovered. While our results for the two regimes are in agreement with previous studies, the new M-R relations better match the population in the transition region from rocky to volatile-rich exoplanets, which correspond to a mass range of 5–25 M ⊕, and a radius range of 2–3 R ⊕. We use the composition line of pure water to separate the two populations, and infer two new empirical M-R relations based on this data: M = (0.9 ± 0.06) R (3.45☐.12) for the rocky population, and M = (1.74 ± 0.38) R (1.58☐.10) for the volatile-rich population. The rocky exoplanet population shows a relatively small density variability and ends at mass of ~25 M ⊕, possibly indicating the maximum core mass that can be formed. The resulting mass-radius (M-R) diagram shows two distinct populations, corresponding to rocky and volatile-rich exoplanets which overlap in both mass and radius. We present an updated exoplanet catalogue based on reliable, robust, and, as much as possible accurate mass and radius measurements of transiting planets up to 120 M ⊕. Studying the different populations of exoplanets is important for understanding the demographics of the different planetary types, which can then be linked to planetary formation and evolution. The masses and radii of exoplanets are fundamental quantities needed for their characterisation.
