Plot of the eccentricities, e, computed for each 0 to 2ϕ change in azimuth of the planet as explained in the text, as a function of time. The diamonds and stars (colored red and black in the online version) indicate the points ( e) and horizontal scales ( t) that correspond to the t = 0 and t = 10 planet runs, respectively.
