Our categorisation of planets used throughout this work.
| Name | Definition |
|---|---|
| Composition | |
| Gaseous | MGas > 0.15 Mpl |
| Water-rich | WMF >10% |
| Rocky | Not gaseous or rocky |
| Mass | |
| Giant | Mpl > 10 M⊕ |
| Super-Earth | 2 < Mpl/M⊕ < 10 |
| Earth-mass | Mpl < 2 M⊕ |
Notes. We categorise planets either according to their mass (Giant, Super-Earth, or Earth-mass) or composition (Gaseous, Water-rich, or Rocky) such that the total number of planets is equal to the sum of each category in either the composition-based categories or the size-based categories. In all categories, we do not consider any bodies below 0.05 M⊕.
