In The Surface Gravity Plateau, Centauri Dreams offers some interesting computations on the surface gravity of planets. It seems that surface gravity as a function of mass has a surprising interval of rough constancy in its graph. (The article also gives reasonable approximations to its graph outside the interval of constancy. I'll have to remember those formulas.)
