But there you'd be wrong. One of the things we've noticed about exoplanets is that small red dwarf stars often have large Jovian planets. About 30% of exoplanets orbiting red dwarfs are more ...

We statistically compute planet formation frequencies (PFFs) as well as the orbital radius ( < R rapid > ) within which gas accretion becomes efficient enough to form Jovian planets. The three ...
