Cumulative distribution of planets as a function of insolation flux. The solid lines are corrected for completeness and the dashed lines are not corrected. Planets residing in very high insolation flux environments tend to be more rare around low-mass stars. For example, ∼20% of the planet population orbiting stars more massive than 1.11 ﹩{M}_{\odot }﹩ have ﹩{S}_{\mathrm{inc}}﹩ > 200 ﹩{S}_{\oplus }﹩, compared to only ∼10% of planets orbiting stars less massive than 0.96 ﹩{M}_{\odot }﹩.
