Exoplanet Demographics, Rogue Worlds & Circumbinary Planets: Foundations

Exoplanet demographics studies planet occurrence as a function of size, mass, period, stellar type, metallicity, and system architecture. Demographics test formation theory and estimate how common particular planet types or potentially temperate worlds are in the Galaxy.
