Fig. 11.
Top: apocenter distribution of stellar orbits just before the first interaction (y-axis) and just before the most energetic interaction (x-axis), in log-spaced bins. The distribution was smoothed using a Gaussian kernel density estimation. Bottom: apocenter distribution of stars still bound to the galactic system after the most energetic interaction with the SMBH binary.
