Invited Review
With the discoveries of thousands of planets, the Kepler mission has brought revolutions to the exoplanet researching field, which is advancing from studying individual exoplanets to characterizing planet populations. However, making any reliable statistical inference with a large Kepler planet sample is seriously limited by the lack of accurate stellar parameters for the majority of the...

Invited talk
Exoplanets around different type of stars provide a window into the diverse environments in which planets form. The mass and metallicity of exoplanet host stars reflect the conditions in the protoplanetary disks where these planets once formed. The relation between exoplanet populations and their host stars provide strong constraints on the planet formation process.
Giant planets occur more...
