Planet detection statistics of observed planets compared with mock detections based on the synthetic planet population by Burn et al. (2021). Included are all planets with orbital periods of 1–100 d and with minimum masses of 0.5–10 M_⊕. The left panel shows the M_pl sin i of the observed (orange squares) and synthetic (circles) planets against orbital periods. The transparency and color of the synthetic data are scaled by detection probability. The cumulative distribution of the observed and synthetic P_pl (middle) and M_pl sin i (right) is shown. For the synthetic data, we show with transparent lines 1000 random draws of 11 planets to visualize the expected spread.
