Description
Planetary systems present remarkable diversity, yet the underlying processes that shape this diversity remain poorly understood. The prevailing theory suggests that planets form within circumstellar disks, where gas and dust coagulate into planetary bodies. Planetary population synthesis models attempt to replicate this process by simulating planet formation under varying physical conditions. Such models need to incorporate proper physical and initial conditions. Even with these assumptions, comparison with the observations is problematic. The observed exoplanetary population is affected by both the intrinsic trends and the biases from the selection effects of the different observing techniques. The aim of this project is to quantify how the selection effects influence the observed population and attempt to construct an intrinsic unbiased exoplanetary population. Based on our approach, we can test the existing theories for planet formation by directly comparing simulated planet distributions coming from planet population synthesis models with the intrinsic diversity of exoplanetary systems coming from the observations.
