Top panel: 3D illustration of the encounter geometry of model h. The hyperbolic trajectory is plotted as a continuous line while its projections on the (x,y) and (x,z) plane are shown as dashed lines. The disks around the primary and secondary star are shown at three different evolutionary times around the pericenter passage. The primary disk is at the center of the reference frame so its shape overlaps at the three different times. Bottom panel: projection of the 3D plot on the (x,z) plane, a view that helps to understand the dynamical configuration of the encounter.
