Simulations of a hypothetical young Solar System with planets in various orbital configurations.

Planets born in orbital resonance (see Sect. 4.2.2)
Designation Simulation D
Simulations One simulation with planets (in various configurations), asteroids, and Galactic tidal field
Star Single 1 M with four giant planets and 10 000 asteroids in the smooth potential of the Milky Way galaxy
Planets The four planets have almost circular orbits (e < 0.006) in the plane (i < 0.1°) with Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus in orbits with semi-major axes of 5.1, 9.5, 19.2, and 30.1 au respectively. The ecliptic was inclined by 60° to the Galactic plane. We performed two more simulations with initial semi-major axes of 3.75, 5.953, 9, 449, and 15.0 au, and with semi-major axes of 5.5, 8.1, 11.5, and 14.2 au for the four giant planets
Asteroids Ten-thousand asteroids in circular orbits between 3 au and 50 au in a thick disk (Toomre-Q parameter of 25 Toomre 1964) in the plane of the planets
Numerics Huayno (Pelupessy et al. 2012) coupled to the Galactic model; see Table 5 via bridge (Portegies Zwart et al. 2020) in AMUSE (Portegies Zwart & McMillan 2018)
Computer Run on LGM-II with GPU
Duration Simulation performed for a duration of 1 Gyr
