The planet density population with TESS

该项目将使用全天巡天TESS数据创建具有测量半径和质量的行星统计可靠样本，从而推断密度。TESS的数据将允许计算行星大小分布的统计数据，但由于其明亮的目标选择，这些探测中应该有足够的径向速度特征，从而得出行星质量和密度的标准样本。这些结果将使我们深入了解行星的典型组成，什么水平的核心和包络质量分数是典型的，并为行星结构和形成模型提供实验约束。

This project will use the all sky survey TESS data to create a statistically robust sample of planets with measured radii and masses, and hence inferred densities. The TESS data will allow statistics on planet size distribution to be calculated, but due to its bright target selection enough of these detections should be characterisable by radial velocity to lead to a standardisable sample of planet masses and densities. The results will allow a deep understanding of the typical composition of planets, what level of core and envelope mass fractions are typical, and provide experimental constraints on planet structure and formation models.
