Constraints in semi-major axis and mass for the possible engulfed planet. The stellar abundances set a minimum mass of 2.5 MEarth. For a given semi-major axis, a hard limit on the possible planet mass is set by the requirement that it not suppress Kozai cycles on the outer planet b. A soft limit is set by the increasing probability of ejecting planet b as the engulfed planet’s orbital energy becomes more negative.
