Statistical histogram depicting the mass distribution of terrestrial planets and remaining planetesimals. The blue bars represent the clone_001-020, which includes a giant planet fixed at 3.2 AU, while the orange bars represent the “no giant” group. This suggests that the gravitational influence of an outer gas giant actually facilitates the formation of massive terrestrial planets by affecting the interactions between plan-etesimals and planetary embryos in the terrestrial planet zone.
