Table 4

Number of close encounters with a 1 M star raising the planet periastron above a given value (2, 50 or 150 au) depending on the trajectory of the planet before the fly-by.

Periastron superior to 2 au 50 au 150 au

Unstable elliptic trajectory 8 × 10-4 5 × 10-5 2 × 10-5
Slow hyperbolic trajectory 1 × 10-4 2 × 10-5 6 × 10-6
Fast hyperbolic trajectory <1 × 10-6 <1 × 10-6 <1 × 10-6

Notes. These values have been obtained from Eq. (5).
