arXiv:2606.11737v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Close-in exoplanets exhibit a wide range of orbital architectures and physical properties shaped by both formation conditions and migration processes. Although population-synthesis models predict distinct planetary populations, establishing a quantitative connection between observed exoplanets and synthetic populations remains challenging. We investigate the intrinsic organisation of close-in exoplanets using physically motivated dynamical parameters and connect the resulting populations to pebble-accretion formation pathways.

The increasing availability of exoplanet observational data necessitates advanced analytical methods to decipher complex patterns, making machine learning an ideal tool for this moment.
This research provides a more refined understanding of exoplanet formation, which is crucial for planetary science and potentially for identifying conditions elsewhere conducive to life.
Our ability to classify and understand distinct exoplanet populations based on formation pathways, specifically pebble accretion, is enhanced, leading to better predictive models.
