Case studies of orbits for a terrestrial planet (dotted line) in the HZ (gray area) of HD 188015 based on a simulation time of 1000 yr. Note that in both models, the giant planet (solid line) is initially placed at perigee. The starting positions of the terrestrial planets are given as δ = 0.5 at an angle of 150° and 160°, respectively.
