Description
This upload contains the output files for simulations which recreate flyby stellar encounters upon an idealized thin disk of test particles (Moore, Li, & Adams submitted; https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.15666). Each folder has a readme to assist in navigating the data.
These simulations were conducted using the Mercury Integrator (Chambers, J. E. 1999, MNRAS, 304, 793) and the output files are modified "element.out" equivalents. Each row of output file corresponds to an object in the simulation. The first column contains the final semi-major axis of the corresponding object. The second column contains the final eccentricity of the corresponding object. The third column contains the final inclination of the corresponding object.
