Detection sensitivity of companions for our direct imaging SPHERE observations of 15 M-stars (left) and 12 GK-stars (right). The isocontours give the number of stars from our survey that have the sensitivity to detect companions at a probability of 50%. The theoretical population of companions formed via the Bern core-accretion models considering 1000 systems are indicated in circles of colors associated to stellar masses (Burn et al. 2021). These symbols have a black outline if the systems also host close-in (≤ 1 au) low-mass (≤ 95 M) planets.
