HST/WFC3 UV imaging of SR 12 c measures accretion luminosity of 1.65 ± 0.19 × 10^{-5} L_⊙ and rate of 8 ± 2 × 10^{-12} M_⊙ yr^{-1}, placing it at the end stages of giant planet assembly with a full UV-to-sub-mm SED.

Young sub-Neptunes transition from core-powered bolometric escape to photoevaporative escape at smaller radii for lower-mass and more irradiated planets, with self-consistent simulations yielding combined mass-loss rates and analytic transition scalings.
Simulations show that von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai migration from inclined companions produces misaligned short-period hot Jupiters while coplanar high-eccentricity migration preserves alignment at longer periods.
Interior structure models show 28 of 34 cold super-puffs are consistent with core accretion while six require non-standard explanations such as impacts or exo-rings.
Photoevaporative and collisional mass losses diversify exoplanet parameter space in ways consistent with standard core accretion, enabling an expanded eight-class classification scheme.
