Time evolution of the radial profiles of the eccentricities (solid lines) and inclinations (dashed lines) in the embryo’s neighborhood for planetesimals with a radius of 0.1 km. With time, the planet’s gravitational excitation increases the eccentricities and inclinations of the planetesimals. It is also clear that planetesimals do not reach equilibrium values (β = i/e ≠ 0.5). (Color version online.)
