Caption: Figure 4.

The eccentricity distribution of giant planets (Mp > 0.1 MJ) whose semimajor axis lies beyond the OHZ outer boundary (left panel). Both the shade and the size of the plotted data are logarithmically proportional to the planet mass, where dark green indicates a low mass and light green indicates a high mass. The right panel shows a subset (the wrecking ball planets) whose orbits either pass through the HZ or whose periastron distance lies within 20% of the outer OHZ boundary.
