Fig. 8

Scattering rates of particles that started with different initial eccentricities and inclinations. The simulations are all for a single Neptune mass planet at 2 AU and are detailed in Table 2. The crosses represent individual scattering events, whilst the dotted lines are straight line fits to the data. There is an increase in scattering rates with the particle’s initial eccentricity or inclination.
