Kepler mission: smaller stars have more short-period, small #exoplanets. Theory: the smallest stars won’t have enough disk material to make small planets so there must be a turnover. Kepler+K2: We have found a turnover! Check out our newest Scaling K2 paper: arxiv.org/abs/2508.05734 🧵 1/9 🔭🧪☄️

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 ...
