Final orbital structure after evolving the primordial scattering population over 4.5 Gyr under the gravitational influence of the four giant planets and a KBP with m = 1.5 M , a = 250 au, q = 195 au, and i = 30°. The results obtained for the control model (Figure 2) and this model are represented by black and red symbols, respectively. Blue asterisks represent the extreme TNOs. The KBP’s orbit is indicated by the green square.
