Measuring the occurrence rate of extrasolar planets is one of the most fundamental constraints on our understanding of planets throughout the Galaxy. By studying planet populations across a wide parameter space in stellar age, type, metallicity, and multiplicity, we can inform planet formation, migration and evolution theories. The NASA Kepler mission was a space-based survey for transiting exoplanets, primarily focussed on measuring the occurrence rates of Earth-like planets orbiting Sun-like stars. I will describe our ongoing efforts to catalogue the exoplanets in the Kepler field, including characterizing the survey completeness and reliability, and summarize our progress towards measuring robust occurrence rates. I will also describe the opportunity afforded by the NASA K2 mission, the successor to the Kepler mission, to expand occurrence rate calculations into a wider stellar parameter space.<\/em><\/p>\n

Apr 14: Joseph O’Rourke (Caltech)<\/span> \u2013 <\/span>Generating Magnetic Fields in Earth, Venus, and Super-Earth Exoplanets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earth’s global magnetic field has survived for at least 3.5 billion years, yet Venus lacks a dynamo today. I will explore possible explanations for this dichotomy and discuss related implications for the internal structure and evolution of massive, rocky exoplanets.<\/p>\n
