Fig. 2

Eccentricity vs. semimajor axis (top plot) and inclination vs. semimajor axis (bottom plot) of P–P scattering outcomes for three Jupiter-size planets started on circular orbits with a1 = 1 au, a2 = 1.5 au, and a3 = 2 au. All other initial orbital elements are selected randomly, the orbital angles between [0,2π] and the inclination smaller than 1°. The time evolution of each system is 2 My.
