A Neptune-Mass Planet Orbiting the Nearby M Dwarf GJ 436
Paul Butler,Steven S. Vogt,Geoffrey W. Marcy,Debra A. Fischer,Debra A. Fischer,Jason T. Wright,Gregory W. Henry,Greg Laughlin,Jack J. Lissauer +8 more
TL;DR: GJ 436 (M2.5 V) is the only known exoplanet around a main-sequence star and the first candidate in the Neptune-mass domain this article, however, it is not known whether it is a gas giant.

TL;DR: The Second Workshop on Extreme Precision Radial Velocities defined circa 2015 the state of the art Doppler precision and identified the critical path challenges for reaching 10 cm/s measurement precision as discussed by the authors.
A ~ 7.5 Earth-Mass Planet Orbiting the Nearby Star, GJ 876
Eugenio J. Rivera,Jack J. Lissauer,R. P. Butler,Geoffrey W. Marcy,Steven S. Vogt,Debra A. Fischer,Timothy M. Brown,Greg Laughlin,Gregory W. Henry +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a third planet was found orbiting the nearby dM4 star GJ 876 and the residuals of three-body Newtonian fits showed significant power at a periodicity of 1.93776 +- 7x10^-5 days.

TL;DR: The Second Workshop on Extreme Precision Radial Velocities defined circa 2015 the state of the art Doppler precision and identified the critical path challenges for reaching 10 cm s−1 measurement precision as mentioned in this paper.
Discovery and Characterization of Transiting SuperEarths Using an All-Sky Transit Survey and Follow-up by the James Webb Space Telescope
D. Deming,Sara Seager,Joshua N. Winn,E. Miller-Ricci,Mark Clampin,Don J. Lindler,Thomas P. Greene,David Charbonneau,Greg Laughlin,George R. Ricker,D. W. Latham,Kimberly Ennico +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the prospects for an all-sky transit survey targeted to the brightest stars, that would find the most favorable cases for photometric and spectroscopic characterization using the JWST.
