Exoplanet exploration in the context of the PLATO mission: From detection to population studies

Understanding how planetary systems form and evolve is one of the main goals of exoplanet research. The discovery of 51 Peg b in 1995, a Jupiter-mass planet with an orbit seven times shorter than Mercury’s, changed our long-standing paradigm based on the Solar System. Formation theories show that gi...
