Colors used in the log SN map classify the orbits — black indicates quasi-periodic regular configurations while yellow strongly chaotic ones. The maps are computed for the following osculating elements of the Jovian planets at the epoch of the first observation t0, in terms of tuples (m [mJ],a [AU],e,ω [deg],M (t0) [deg]): the left panel is for (4.975, 2.864, 0.359, 22.281, 330.365) of the inner planet, and (5.618, 8.343, 0.174, 188.543, 72.091) of the outer planet, respectively; the right panel is for (4.974, 2.863, 0.359, 22.310, 330.314) of the inner planet, and (4.558, 7.863, 0.173, 187.674, 64.417) of the outer planet, respectively. The large circles mark the parameters of the best fits. The thin line marks the collision curve for planets b and c, as determined by ab(1 + eb)= ac(1 − ec). The 4 low-order MMRs of the planets b and c are labeled. The integrations are conducted over ∼ 10 Pc. The resolution is 500 × 120 data points.
