Extended N model. Orbital elements of particles in the disk after 100 Myr and multiple stellar encounters. First column: semimajor axis as a function of eccentricity, with particles color-coded by their perihelion distances. The green, blue, and gray shaded regions highlight different populations formed due to stellar encounters. Second column: perihelion as a function of orbital inclination, with dots color-coded by aphelion distance. The gray shaded areas represent the distinct regions of the Solar System: Kuiper Belt (KB), scattered disk (SD), Sednoids, and the inner Oort Cloud (OC). Third column: distribution of orbital energy for the particles. The red histograms correspond to the initial energy distribution, and the blue curve represents the final energy distribution. The blue curves with positive values indicate interstellar comets. Each row corresponds to systems numbered 128, 14, 100, 86, and 157, respectively.
