  2. Pebble accretion is the leading theory for the formation of #exoplanets more massive than the Earth.

    But any parameters influence #planet growth in the pebble accretion models, including pebble fragmentation velocity, turbulence strength, stellar #metallicity, stellar mass, and planet location.

    Planets orbiting #stars with higher metallicity have an overall higher probability of reaching their pebble isolation mass than those orbiting lower metallicity stars, but the impact of metallicity is not as high as that of stellar mass, orbital separation, and most importantly disc turbulence.

  4. Using the sun as a baseline, astronomers can measure when a #star formed by determining its #metallicity, or the level of heavy elements present within it.

    Metal-rich #stars or nebulas formed relatively recently, while metal-poor objects were likely present during the early #universe.

    The formation of super-Earths, #planets more massive than the Earth, near metal-poor stars is significantly more difficult than near high-metalliciry ones.
