Final positions in log scale of the first 1000 clones from Scenario 1 color coded for the last recorded time before they are removed from the simulation (see main text). Violet clones were lost early in the simulation, while yellow clones indicate those that remain. The black line corresponds to an equal initial and final position: comets above would have moved away from their initial formation position, and comets below would have migrated inwards. The area near the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn clears quickly, sending the clones on highly eccentric orbits even before Neptune’s migration occurs. We see the relatively stable location of the current day Edge-worth-Kuiper Belt.
