Mass loss versus semimajor axis evolution for all Solar System simulations. The masses of the planets affect how far the planetesimals are scattered, with more planetesimals leaving the simulation domain when the planetary mass is increased (#4). A large surface density (#5) generally results in efficient ablation and few scatterings beyond the simulation domain since the planetesimals are ablated before they become scattered. The opposite is the case for a low surface density (#6) and ablation also occurs closer to the star.
