Figure 5: Grain size distribution at 100 AU and 10 Myr (4.5 Myr for "ice'') for different eccentricity ranges: 0.0 to 0.375 for "rock'' and "ice'', and only 0.0 to 0.125 for "circular'' orbits. The dashed lines are rescaled to coincide with the solid at large radii. The horizontal shift of the maximum for icy grains is largely due to a different bulk density. |

Figure 7: Grain size distribution at distances from 50 AU to 350 AU in steps of 50 AU after 30 Myr. The initial disk is the same as in Fig. 4. The inner boundary of semimajor axes was placed at 80 AU. Therefore, only a small fraction of grains on sufficiently eccentric orbits contribute to the density at 50 AU. |
