Monte Carlo sampling plot of the planet mass vs. the stellar mass, with the ice line planet formation model (scenario A) in the left, the log-uniform distributed planet formation model (scenario B) in the right, αt = 10−3 in the top and αt = 10−4 in the bottom. The color corresponds to the water mass fraction in the planetary core. The black line represents the characteristic mass of the simulated super-Earths, set by the pebble isolation mass from Eq. (39). The MpM scaling is almost insensitive to the explored disk turbulent αt values and embryos’ birth locations r0. The planet with moderate water fraction can form from the water ice line in less turbulent disks. Planets formed over a wide range of disk distances end up with a distinctive, bimodal water mass distribution.
