Two-dimensional simulations of the hyperbolic flyby of an M dwarf system with v = 3 km s−1 through a protoplanetary disk. The total mass of the protoplanetary disk is 0.12 M, with a 1 M central star. Four sets of parameters are considered as initial conditions: Rd = 100 au, M = 0.1M, d = 90 au; and Rd = 100 au, M = 0.2M, d = 90 au; others are similar to Figure 2.
