Nominal outcomes of numerical simulations.
| Model unit | |rSD| Gyr−1 | fEC % | τEC Myr | Remaining % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average RMVS C | 0.179 | 68.1 | 167 | 0.19 |
| Average GPU | 0.149 | 78.7 | 154 | 0.15 |
Notes. Average quantities derived from the results of the numerical simulations with RMVS and GENGA over the last 3.5 Gyr. Columns 2–5 show the rate of decline of scattered disc objects (rSD), the fraction of scattered disc objects that become ecliptic comets (fEC), the dynamical lifetime of the ecliptic comets (τEC), and the percentage of remaining population. Uncertainties are in the main text and the Supplementary Materials on Zenodo.
