The OCAV meetings take place monthly in the historical room at the Observatoire de Paris.
Following the format initiated during the exoplanet meetings, a large part of the time allocated is devoted to discussions and interactions with the speaker.

Abstract
Ground-based surveys with radial velocity and direct imaging instruments, and the space-based transit survey by the Kepler satellite have revealed the multi-faceted demographics of the extrasolar planet population in important parts of the parameter space. Besides the well-known diversity in the orbital properties of the planets, this statistical information now includes also compositional constraints and inter-system correlations. Taken together, these observations put compelling combined constraints on planet formation and evolution theory.
In this talk, I will first give an overview of the most important statistical observational constraints. I will then introduce planetary population synthesis as a method to put our theoretical understanding of planet formation and evolution to the statistical observational test. I will present the physical processes that are included in the global end-to-end models that are used to generate the synthetic planetary populations. The description of these physical processes in the global models is based on the results of many theoretical studies addressing in a detailed way a specific process; in this sense, the global models eflect the state of the art in planet formation modelling as a whole.
I will then focus on the results recently obtained in a new generation of planetary population syntheses which might be among the most comprehensive simulations of planetary system formation conducted to date. I will discuss the successes and failures in reproducing observed properties. I will use the discrepancies to point out shortcomings in our current theoretical understanding, and pathways to address them. This includes orbital migration models, models for the protoplanetary gas disk, and the internal structure of planets.
