A Revisit of the Mass–Metallicity Trends in Transiting Exoplanets

A Revisit of the Mass–Metallicity Trends in Transiting Exoplanets

The two prevailing planet formation scenarios, core accretion and disk instability, predict distinct planetary mass–metallicity relations. Yet, the detection of this trend remains challenging due to inadequate data on planet atmosphere abundance and inhomogeneities in both planet and host stellar ab...
