Fig. 7
Comparison among model orbital distributions for multiple initial values of the inner planet semimajor axis a1 and the distribution of presently known exoplanets (Schneider et al. 2011). Top panels: a1 is randomly selected within the interval 0.03–0.05 au, second row panels: within 0.05–0.1 au, third row panels: within [0.2-1] au. Bottom panels: observed orbital distribution. The inclination with respect to the star equator (λ parameter) is known only in a limited number of cases.
