Formation and evolution tracks of four giant planets with final masses in the 1∕3 to 2 M_♃ range in discs with a single embryo. Top panels: formation tracks with total mass M_tot versus distance (time goes towards the top) and total mass M_tot (solid lines) and core mass M_core (dashed lines) versus time. Three panels on the bottom row: time dependence of the outer luminosity L_tot (bottom left), the distance (bottom centre) and the total radius R_tot (bottom right). For all panels except for the mass versus time (top right), the line styles denote the phase: dashed lines for the attached phase, solid line for the detached phase during formation and dash-dotted lines for the evolution stage. Line widths denote the migration regime, with tick lines for Type I and think lines for Type II. The legend in the top right panel shows the gas (in Solar masses) and planetesimals (in Earth mass) disc masses.
