Summary of our simulation results for the different models.

Ice line evolution Planet migration Water content of inner planets (r < 0.3 AU) Figure
    
No No Only rocky by construction, no water rich planets Fig. 2
No Yes Mostly rocky, some water rich planets originating from beyond Fig. 3
Yes No Only rocky by construction, no water rich planets Fig. 4
Yes Yes Only rocky planets, water rich planets trapped outside of 0.7 AU Fig. 5
Yes Only inwards Rocky and icy planets with composition gradient depending on r0 Fig. 6
Yes Yes Fast growth allows rocky interior planets, no inner water rich planets Fig. 8 (top)
Yes Yes Slow growth allows rocky interior planets, no inner water rich planets Fig. 8 (bottom)

Notes.Observational predictions imply that close in super-Earth planets (r < 0.3 AU) are predominately rocky, but that there are also icy super Earths (Owen & Wu 2013; Lopez & Fortney 2014; Fulton & Petigura 2018; Jin & Mordasini 2018; Van Eylen et al. 2018b). Only the models shown in Figs. 3 and 6 allow for rocky and ice rich inner planets within the same framework, but the water ice line of the model presented inFig. 3 does not evolve in time, which we deem unrealistic.
