Snapshots of the planetesimal disk when the planet’s eccentricity increases with time. The left and right columns show the cases with τecc = 103 Porb,p and 103 Porb,p, respectively. The upper and lower panels show the snapshots when the planetary eccentricity is ep = 0.3 and 0.81, respectively. The vertical dotted lines are the pericenter and apocenter of the planet. The dashed lines are the analytical models of the planetesimal eccentricity given by Eq. (40). When τecc = 105 Porb,p, the planetesimal eccentricity is smaller than that given by Eq. (40) because the resonances suppress the linear increase of the eccentricity.
