Evolution in time of SIM 1 corresponding to scenario IV. Planetary embryos are plotted as colored circles following the color scale that represents the fraction of water of the embryos with respect to their total masses. The blue and light blue shaded areas represent the conservative and the optimistic HZ, respectively. Moreover, the blue and light blue curves represent curves of constant perihelion and aphelion, both for the conservative and the optimistic HZ. At the end of the simulation, a super-Earth of 8.29M and 40% water content survives within the limits of the HZ. It is worth noting that the accretion seed of this planet is the 5M super-Earth formed at 3 au at the end of the gaseous phase.
