The discovery of thousands of exoplanets revealed a huge variety in the sizes, masses, and orbital characteristics of planets outside of our solar system. How can we understand the origin of such diversity? Dr. Lee will discuss how the theories of gas accretion and disk processes can be combined with the measured distributions of radii and orbital periods to reveal the formation conditions of exoplanets, from close-in super-Earths to far-out Jupiters.
