If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr B.-O. Demory. NASA ’s Kepler mission has discovered a large new population of super-Earth and sub-Neptune sized planets. Understanding these planets poses a fundamental test for models of planet formation and evolution. I will discuss the possible origins and compositions of these planets and the constraints that can be provided by models of planet structure and evolution. I will examine the transition between rocky super-Earths and gaseous sub-Neptunes, the possible compositions of the sub-Neptunes, and the role that atmospheric photo-evaporation plays in sculpting these populations.
