Thirty years after the discovery of 51 Peg b, nearly 6000 exoplanets have been confirmed in the solar neighborhood. But beyond the growing count, it is the remarkable diversity of these worlds that continues to challenge our understanding and paints a planetary taxonomy far more complex than that suggested by our own Solar System.
Beyond individual discoveries, studying the global properties of this exoplanet population, and particularly giant planets, provides essential insights into the processes of planet formation and evolution (accretion timescales, formation locations within protoplanetary disks, and migration mechanisms).
We present a comprehensive review of the occurrence rates of giant planets, compiled from multiple detection methods: radial velocity, transit, and direct imaging. By combining these complementary techniques and datasets, we draw up a coherent picture of massive planets across a wide stellar mass rangerange (from young B-type to late M-type).
We will discuss how current detection biases still shape our understanding and evaluate whether today's observational constraints are sufficient to fully inform formation models.
