Fig. 4

Change of eccentricity de/dt for planets with 1 MJup, 5 MJup, and 10 MJup with different eccentricities. Points are results from numerical simulations, while lines indicate the fitting of the data. The 1 MJup planets have been evolved for 200 planetary orbits, the 5 MJup and 10 MJup planets have been evolved for 400 orbits. The forces used to calculate the data points have been averaged over 40 planetary orbits for all simulations.
