Disc-to-star mass ratio, q, at the time of disc fragmentation as a function of the disc radius, for metallicities z = [0.1, 1, 10] marked by the red, green and blue points, respectively. Discs with higher metallicity are larger when they fragment, suggesting aperiod of expansion. The required disc-to-mass ratio for fragmentation increases with disc size.
