Fig. 12

ω/n vs. e phase space, reproduced from Leconte et al. (2010) Fig. 1. Here, ω = Ωp or ΩBD. The planets are in pseudo-synchronization so Ωp/n remains on the black solid line, thus the planetary tide always contribute in making the semi-major axis and eccentricity decrease. If the eccentricity is ~ 0, we can see that if ΩBD/n > 1 the BD tide contributes in pushing planets away and if ΩBD/n > 18/11 ~ 1.64, the eccentricity increases.
