ABSTRACT Current planet search programs detect an ever increasing number of extrasolar planets which show more diverse properties than was expected. We calculated equilibrium core-envelope structures for all conceivable locations: combinations of different planetesimal accretion rates, host star masses, and orbital separations. At each location all hydrostatic equilibrium solutions of the equations of stellar structure are determined by variation of core mass and pressure over many orders of magnitude. For each location we analyze the distribution of planetary masses: the mass spectrum. Using the concept of the maximum embedded equilibrium mass (MEEM) we can explain the lack of massive planets with orbital periods below 64 days.
