Number of pebble tracer particles as a function of location and time in the fiducial simulation. Pebbles are added to the outer regions in order to keep the surface density in the outer regions approximately constant for the first 600 yr. By 3000 yr the pebbles have largely been accreted or drifted out of the simulation.
