The mass-period distribution of close-in exoplanets

Context. The lower limit to the distribution of orbital periods P for the current population of close-in exoplanets shows a distinctive discontinuity located at approximately one Jovian mass. Most smaller planets have orbital periods longer than P ~ 2.5 days, while higher masses are found down to P ...
