(C) Animations:
- the individual animations show the distributions plotted in Figs.
3-12 in the paper (Leto et al., 2008); while the plots in these figures
illustrate the state in 2 Gyr (or also for few other times), the
animations show their evolution during the entire studied period of
2 Gyr, with the snapshots of every Myr.
- all the animations are provided in "avi" format
- fig03.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the comet population moved into
the inner OC from the Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Kuiper-belt
regions. The green bars illustrate the numbers of bodies in 0.5-AU-wide
intervals of the initial proto-planetary disc, which reside in the
inner Oort cloud (OC) at the just shown time. The red bars do so for
the bodies occuring in the inner OC, at least for a short period,
whenever from the beginning of the simulation to the just shown time.
- fig04.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the heliocentric distance
distribution of the OC comets (crosshatched bars). The same distribution
of all comets, still bound to the Sun, is also shown (empty bars).
the region of heliocentric distance r < 10,000 AU, the distribution of
all comets is outside of the chosen vertical scale because of a better
transparency of the OC-comet distribution. If all comets in the given
interval are in the OC, the crosshatched bar overlaps the entire empty
bar, which is not visible in this interval, then.
- fig05.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the cumulative distribution of
bodies in the region of heliocentric distance from 100 to
100,000 AU
(in the logarithmic scale).
- fig06.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the orbital semi-major axis
distribution of bodies residing in the OC (crosshatched bars). The same
distribution of all comets, still bound to the Sun, is also shown (empty
bars).
- fig07.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the orbital eccentricity of bodies
residing in the inner OC.
- fig08a.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the inclination to the Galactic-
Equator-plane distribution of bodies residing in the inner OC.
- fig08b.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the inclination to the Ecliptic
distribution of bodies residing in the inner OC.
- fig08c.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the argument-of-perihelion
distribution of bodies residing in the inner OC. The referrence frame
is galactical.
- fig08d.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the argument-of-perihelion
distribution of bodies residing in the inner OC. The referrence frame
is ecliptical.
- fig08e.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the longitude-of-ascending-node
distribution of bodies residing in the inner OC. The referrence frame
is galactical.
- fig08f.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the longitude-of-ascending-node
distribution of bodies residing in the inner OC. The referrence frame
is ecliptical.
- fig09a.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the aphelion-point directional
distribution of the bodies residing in the inner OC. The referrence
frame is galactical. The green curve shows the position of the
Ecliptic.
- fig09b.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the aphelion-point directional
distribution of the bodies residing in the inner OC. The referrence
frame is ecliptical. The green curve shows the position of the
Galactic Equator.
- fig10a.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the inclination to the Ecliptic
vs. semi-major axis of bodies on the orbits with semi-major axis in
the interval 50 < a < 22,000 AU. The bodies residing in a given time in
the inner OC are shown with red-green asterisks, the other bodies with red crosses.
- fig10b.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the inclination to the Ecliptic
vs. semi-major axis of bodies on the orbits with semi-major axis in
the interval 50 < a < 500 AU..
- fig11a.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the ecliptical rectangular
z-component vs. heliocentric distance, "r", of bodies being in the
interval 50 < r < 25,000 AU. The bodies residing in a given time in
the inner OC are shown with red-green asterisks, the other bodies with
red crosses. Because of the obvious fact that "z" cannot be larger than
"r", no point can occur above the green line.
- fig11b.avi
- the 2-Gyr evolution of the ecliptical rectangular
z-component vs. heliocentric distance, "r", of the bodies being in the
interval 50 < r < 5,000 AU. The bodies residing in a given time in
the inner OC are shown with red-green asterisks, the other bodies with
red crosses. No TP can occur above the green line.
