Observed and simulated stellar sample. Top: combined observed stellar mass distribution is composed of different distributions for the HARPS (purple) and CARM₇₀ samples (yellow), respectively. The host star masses in the synthetic NGM population are discrete. By weighted resampling of its systems according to the combined observed sample (red), we obtain a new distribution that approximates it (blue). Bottom: number of observations per stellar mass bin with the same color code as the top figure. Every target star is represented by a white box.
