abstract
Determining the mass-radius ($M$-$R$) relation of exoplanets is important for exoplanet characterization. Here we present a re-analysis of the $M$-$R$ relations and their transitions using exoplanetary data from the PlanetS catalog which only includes planets with reliable mass and radius determinations. We find that "small planets" correspond to planets with masses of up to $\sim4.4 M_\oplus$ (within 17%) where $R \propto M^{0.27}$. Planets with masses between $\sim4.4$ and $127 M_\oplus$ (within 5%) can be viewed as "intermediate-mass" planets, where $R \propto M^{0.67}$. Massive planets, or gas giant planets, are found to have masses beyond $127 M_\oplus$ with an $M$-$R$ relation of $R \propto M^{-0.06}$. By analyzing the radius-density relation we also find that the transition between "small" to "intermediate-size" planets occurs at a planetary radius of $\sim1.6 R_\oplus$ (within 3%). Our results are consistent with previous studies and provide an ideal fit for the currently-measured planetary population.

The influence of composition gradients on giant planet radii
Composition gradients change giant-planet radii only by altering total entropy over time; after a ~Gyr decoupling age the radius depends only on mass and bulk metallicity.

Three new exoplanet systems from the Dispersed Matter Planet Project
DMPP-7 hosts a confirmed 0.72 Saturn-mass planet at P=4.93 days; HD 67200 and HD 2134 show moderate evidence for 2.7-2.8 day low-mass candidates that remain unconfirmed.

Volcanic Satellites and Ion Escape in the Magnetospheres of Ultra-Cool and Brown Dwarf Stars
Plasma feeding the radio magnetosphere of LSR J1835+3259 could be sourced by a weak stellar ionospheric outflow or, more plausibly, by a tidally heated Io-like volcanic satellite orbiting within ~10 stellar radii.

Dynamically Selected Mass-Radius Relationship for Low Mass Exoplanets
Planets inferred to have suffered giant collisions are more massive than pristine ones but retain comparable hydrogen envelope fractions, implying collisions occurred before disk gas dispersal.

Revisiting TOI-4438 and TOI-442 planetary systems with new observations from SPIRou and TESS
Refined masses and radii for TOI-4438 b and TOI-442 b, stellar rotation periods from magnetic variability, and a single-transit planet candidate around TOI-4438.

HD 148797: A bright F-type star with two moderate-period low-density sub-Jovian planets. Compact multi-planet architectures are common in the Neptunian savanna
HD 148797 hosts two ~40 ME, ~8.3 RE, low-density savanna planets near a 1.619 period ratio whose anti-correlated TTVs yield masses and support compact multi-planet architectures as typical in the savanna.

Planet formation and long-term stability in a very eccentric stellar binary
Long-term N-body simulations indicate that the mini-Neptune TOI 4633c is only stable over the system's 1.3 Gyr age if its orbit is retrograde relative to the highly eccentric stellar binary.

Radio emission from star-planet interactions
SKA can transform exoplanet science via radio M-SPI detections if given substantial dedicated time comparable to successful optical campaigns, based on ECMI scaling and ensemble predictions.
