A simulated 2.5-year multi-band photometric survey is projected to detect ~100 young transiting planets, sufficient to measure their occurrence rate to 5% precision and differentiate gas-dwarf versus water-world formation scenarios.
Varying the adiabatic index from 1.2 to 1.4 in exoplanet evolution models shows that higher gamma produces puffier initial envelopes that contract faster with accelerated mass loss, so using gamma=1.4 overestimates mass-loss effects on young planets.
Observational analysis of 43 systems finds no significant overall correlation between gas giant occurrence and inner small planet properties but reports hints of a trend in metal-rich systems favoring lower-density planets with similar core masses.
