Statistical and Radio Analysis of Exoplanets and Their Host Stars

As of February 2022, over 4900 exoplanets have been confirmed. In this study, we conducted statistical analyses on both the exoplanets and their host stars' parameters. Our findings suggest that the radius and true mass distribution of the exoplanets remain largely unchanged compared to prior research. However, we observed a correlation between the average eccentricity and the number of planets in a system, and fluctuations in the "size" of the planets may contribute to such variation. Moreover, we discovered that, among planets with precise measurements of radius, true mass, and semi-major axis, the true mass-radius relationship follows a power-law distribution. Interestingly, the power-law index tends to decrease from super-Earths to cold Jupiters, potentially due to atmospheric composition. We also revised the radius valley, and determined that M-type host stars with low mass and metal abundance exhibit high planetary ownership rates or harbor large-mass planets, suggesting a different planet formation mechanism than GK-type stars. Lastly, we assessed the possibility of detecting exoplanets using FAST and found that there are three planets in FAST sky that may be detected, namely CoRoT-3 b, GPX-1 b, and TOI-2109 b.
