Scaling K2 VIII: Short-Period Sub-Neptune Occurrence Rates Peak Around Early-Type M Dwarfs
We uniformly combined data from the NASA Kepler and K2 missions to compute planet occurrence rates across the entire FGK and M dwarf stellar range. The K2 mission, driven by targets selected by guest ...
Kepler mission: smaller stars have more short-period, small #exoplanets.
Theory: the smallest stars wonβt have enough disk material to make small planets so there must be a turnover.
Kepler+K2: We have found a turnover!
