Caption: Figure 6.

Three snapshots of the eccentricity and semimajor axis of LIPAD particles at different times in the fiducial simulation. The pebbles are indicated by small gray points. Planetesimals and planets are indicated by colored circles; if planets are larger than 10−2, then the size of the circle is roughly proportional to the planet's radius.
