Eccentricity of the moons in the second and third model sets. Top: eccentricity of moons post-explosion as a function of the pre-explosion eccentricity of the planet. colors represent the pre-explosion eccentricity of the planet, while symbols refer to its pre-explosion true anomaly. Systems where the planets stay bound to the remnant neutron star (and hence do not become rogue planets) are indicated in gray. The mean values of the moon eccentricities for a given planetary eccentricity-true anomaly combination are indicated by vivid-colored symbols. Dashed lines connect the mean moon eccentricities as a function of planetary eccentricity for the different pre-explosion true anomalies. Bottom: change in the eccentricity of moons post-explosion as a function of their pre-explosion eccentricity. Models with increasing eccentricity are shown in bright colors, while those with decreasing eccentricity are shown in pastel colors.
