Notes. Columns show, from left to right, the model identifier (the names of prograde models start with P, the ones of retrograde models with R), radial and azimuthal components of the initial velocity of the intruder vr,0 and vφ,0, the initial azimuthal position of the intruder φ0, expected (calculated analytically treating the disk-star system as a point mass) and actual periastron radius and whether fragments have been ejected during the simulation.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
