Accretion rates of planetary cores at different orbital distances and the mass flux in pebbles past the cores (red curve). The cores of the gas giants reach their critical core mass before they achieve complete filtering (5−8 AU curves). In wider orbits (15−20 AU curves) planets only accrete a minor fraction of the full pebble flux, because the gas and dust disc dissipate after τ_dis = 3 Myr (yellow dashed area), well before sizes with efficient filtering are reached.
