Top panel: evolutionary trajectory of a Type-P particle associated with Set 1 of N-body simulations in the (Ω2, i2) plane (black curve). The initial orbital parameters of this particle are a2 = 20.306 au, e2 = 0.556, i2 = 66.612°, ω2 = 148.109°, and Ω2 = 328.286°. The values of a1 and e1 associated with the inner Jupiter-mass planet, and the red and blue curves are defined in the caption of Fig. 2. The yellow and green circles illustrate the pairs (Ω2, i2) of the particle’s trajectory associated with the vanishing of and (d ω2∕dτ), respectively. Middle panel: evolution in time of the argument of pericenter ω2 of such a particle. Bottom panel: zoom of the middle panel between 200 and 300 Myr. The yellow and green circles represent the values of ω2 of the particle’s trajectory associated with the vanishing of and (d ω2∕dτ), respectively.
