text: As a result, most of the original population of embryos and planetesimals eventually leaves the asteroid belt region by acquiring orbits that are eccentric enough to collide with the Sun or cross Jupiter's orbit and be ejected on a hyperbolic orbit; a fraction of them can be accreted by the growing planets inside 2 AU, and a small number of planetesimals remain on stable orbits in the belt (see Figure 2 for an illustration of this process).
