Probability of the fates of cometesimals from each formation zone at the end of 100 Myr if the sun has left its parent cluster (upper panel) and if the Sun is still in its parent cluster for the first 10 Myr of our simulation (lower panel). In orange we see the cometesimals ejected from the Solar System, in blue those captured by the Oort Cloud, and in green those remaining in the simulation. If the sun has left its parent cluster before the beginning of the simulation, each region <35 au would contribute ~11% of its clones to the Oort Cloud. If the Sun is still in its parent cluster for the first 10 Myr of the simulation, only 1% of clones formed between 8 and 11 au are likely to have reached the Oort Cloud, representing 4% of all the cometesimals potentially captured.
