Mass segregation timescale of LMP population for different masses (left) and number of initial objects (right) using our initial conditions for the number of LMP and the half-mass radius. In the left plot, we show the mass segregation timescale for coupled (MSTc) and decoupled (MSTdc) timescales. MSPEJ is instead the mass segregation timescale for a decoupled mass spectrum from Earth to Jupiter masses, distributed in a logarithmic uniform distribution. On the right, with similar semantics, we have Earth, Jupiter, and a brown dwarf coupled (c suffix) and decoupled (dc suffix). The relaxation timescale for a Jupiter mass and an Earth mass are indicated with the orange and green lines, respectively.
