Core growth as function of time, for a low mass star. Cores are placed on the same orbits as in Fig. 3, and similar labeling is used. Here we have assumed that a star with half the mass of the Sun has a circumstellar disc half as massive than considered in our solar case. The formation of giant planets that reach the critical core mass and become gas giants becomes much harder.
