Mean planet properties as a function of mean stellar mass for super-Earths and sub-Neptunes (left and right columns, respectively). The top, middle, and bottom rows show the weighted average of planet radius, insolation flux, and orbital period, respectively. Planets around more massive stars tend to be larger and hotter than those around lower-mass stars, but their orbital periods are similar.
