Wide-Orbit Exoplanet Demographics
Abstract
There is currently a gap in our understanding of wide-orbit planets, which must be filled if we are to understand planet formation and exoplanet habitability. We summarize current and planned exoplanet detection programs using a variety of methods: microlensing (including WFIRST), radial velocities, Gaia astrometry, and direct imaging.
