Caption: Figure 2.

Maximum number of transits detectable after 22 million years of integrating Kepler-11 with a tilted, oblate star. The x-axis denotes the value of J2 immediately after disk dispersal (J2,0) and the y-axis represents the stellar inclination. The runs where planets were lost through instability are outlined by a dotted line, which corresponds closely to the region where only single transits can be observed (the purple region).
