Hi folks.
With fleet carriers about to launch, explorers will certainly be on the lookout for systems with one, or more bodies with icy rings.
The Intergalactic Astronomical Union presents the following analysis of 2,925,146 unique systems with at least ONE icy ringed body present.
See attached image. (Other) is any spectral class not matching any spectral classes in the chart.
The data largely follows expected behavior of systems based on the spectral class of the primary star.
As we move from hotter (O/B) to cooler ( K/M ) the number of icy ringed bodies increases.
We note an interesting drop off with the brown dwarf (L,T,Y) spectral classes.
Follow up work could be done to sort the count of icy ringed bodies by system mass code (A-H).
Detailed icy ringed body counts of "Other" spectral classes (Neutron, WD, WR, Carbon, etc) could also be obtained.
We'd like to thank our very own @Orvidius for his raw data archives at <https://edastro.com/mapcharts/>, and hope the information presented will be of use to those launching fleet carriers soon.
Additional thanks to the Path Rangers [PTHR] for nudging us to work out the math on this.
