What's Next for Super-Earths? Population Demographics To Probabilistic Planetary Physics
Event Start:
2019-03-11T15:00:00
Event End:

Event Information:
The number of detected small extrasolar planets has increased a hundred-fold in the last decade, thanks in no small part to the Kepler Mission. With TESS, CHEOPS, PLATO, WFIRST, and many next-generation radial velocity instruments to come, our understanding of planets smaller than Neptune will continue to be driven by observations. As theorists construct origin stories for the enormous diversity of exoplanet properties and system architectures, they need population demographers such as myself to provide them with a coherent picture of the Galactic exoplanet census, through quant
