Distribution of planetary masses as a function of the total power received by the planet from the incident bolometric stellar radiation, expressed in units of power received on Earth at the top of the atmosphere (P = 174 PW = 1.74 × 1024 erg s−1). The markersize scales with the planet density, and the color with the planetary equilibrium temperature. Physical properties of exoplanets were extracted from the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopedia (exoplanet.eu) in December 2019. The lower left corner represents the evaporation desert. KELT-9 (HD 195689), encircled in black, stand out of all other planetary population in term of its received power and equilibrium temperature.
