Radii and orbital periods of planets produced by our six models (Table 3). In the baseline model (top left), planetary embryos form inside the ice line, starting at 1 au. The disk metallicity is Z = 1%, and the total mass in embryos is 50 M. In the ice-rich model (top right), embryos form as ice-rich bodies starting at the ice line at 5 au. The metal-rich model (mid left) has a disk with Z = 2%. The metal-poor model (mid right) has a disk with Z = 0.5%. The high-mass model (bottom left) has 100 M of embryos. The low-mass model (bottom right) has 25 M of embryos. Photo-evaporated cores are marked as dark red triangles, and planets with gaseous envelopes are marked as blue plus signs.
