Statistical properties of exoplanets: an update from recent results
Abstract
The most recent data for extra-solar planets are used in order to examine the diagrams correlating several of their basic parameters, e.g. mass, period, semi-major axis, orbital eccentricity and metallicity. Interesting conclusions are emerging such as the lack of light planets (M_pl < 0.15 M_jup) with semi-major axis of their orbit greater than 1.5 A.U. Monte Carlo simulations are used in order to reproduce the same results.
