The simulated and predicted probabilities for Earth-like planets compared to the stellar effective temperature for each of the 164 targets on the HWO EMSL. The HZ moves outward with increasing temperature, but the occurrence rate of giant planets also increases with orbital distance, thus limiting the simulated probability of finding small rocky planets in the HZs of hotter stars.
