Statistical Reevaluation of the Ultra-short-period Planet Classification Boundary: Smaller Planets within 1 Day, Larger Period Ratios below 2 Days

Terrestrial worlds with P  < 1 day, known as ultra-short-period planets (USPs), comprise a physically distinct population whose origins may be attributed to various possible formation channels within multiplanet systems. However, the conventional 1 day boundary adopted for USPs is an arbitrary pr...
