Exoplanet Occurrence Rate with Age for FGK Stars in Kepler by Maryum Sayeed, Ruth Angus, Travis A. Berger, Yuxi(Lucy) Lu, Jessie L. Christiansen, Daniel Foreman-Mackey, Melissa K. Ness

“…We find no significant trend between the occurrence rate and stellar age; a slight decreasing trend (within 1.5 σ –2.5 σ ) only emerges for the low-mass and metal-rich stars that dominate our sample. We isolate the effects of mass and metallicity on the occurrence rate trend with age, but find the results to be inconclusive, due to weak trends and the small sample size. …”
