Example of the resulting semi-major axes and masses of planets injected around a solar-mass star for two different initial disc sizes, 150 AU (top) and 50 AU (bottom). Here, only irradiation heating is considered. We indicate the planets that we define as close-in super-Earths (blue) and giants (red). The large disc forms significantly more giant planets due to having more available mass and a longer lifetime.
