![Fraction of different types of planets formed around stars in a grid with varying [Fe/H] and M∗. In order to form giant planets and super-Earths we require either a high metallicity or a high stellar mass. Further, water-rich planets are more common around stars with higher metallicities and stellar mass as these stars can sustain a high enough pebble flux outside the water ice line to form water-rich planets there. Earth-mass planets dominate for all metallicities and stellar masses as they do not require a high pebble flux in order to form. -- astro-ph.EP](https://astrobiology.newspackstaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/planetformation.png)
